Title: Strikemaster lazer hand auger blade sizing
Post by: SALMONEMIA on Jan 15, 2016, 08:13 AM
Does anyone know if 7 inch blades will fit and 8 inch auger? I was told by someone that the 7 and 8 inch auger have the same flute/drill size, and that the 7 or 8 blades will fit interchangably screw holes will match up etc? Does anyone know for a fact this is true?

If the mounting holes on the blades are the same size/distance apart it should work fine. If the flutes are too wide in the hole I'd fix that with a grinder. I'll customize tools without a second thought for what ever the need anytime.

  I have an OLD 8 inch lazer ond a 3 year old 7 inch lazer. It is hard to measure across flutes but both look like 6.5 inches. the blade holes look the same. I don't know about current made ones. I would like to know on the new 5 and 6 lazers also. I tried to get an answer from salesmen with no luck.

From what I seen,the lazer hand drills use 3 different size auger bodies.4" takes only 4" blades.5 and 6 interchange,also same with 7 and 8.

I just had to buy new blades for my 7 inch laser and i compared blade holes and they are all completely different so 7 and 8 aren't interchangeable and 5 and 6 neither.
