Ive never sharpened my jiffy and my eskimo hand auger is still on original blades.... My eskimo is 6 years old and still cuts like new... Trick is babyi g your blades.... Dont bang em on the ice and bend your edge... If taken care of properly the ice will keep your blades sharp as can be
Never seen where ice keeps blades sharp, but oil, stone and light hone after each use will. Razor sharp.
That is an art, and you could probably make some money touching them up for people.I've butchered a couple sets trying to stone them in the past. I just buy replacements now. I'm pretty easy on my blades, though, aside from smacking a rock last season. I also don't drill a ton of holes, so a set generally lasts me a lot of years.
Thanks, but no thanks. Way too many years of fixing augers, engines, and ruined blades. I won't do it anymore, to see them taken right back out and abused. A friend or two; that's it. I don't charge them.
I just received this $13 angle guide. Goes from 10-45 degrees and it's made to snap right on my Harbor Freight belt sander. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HVXFP80I may have to break down and sharpen the blades on my backup 5" lazer that doesn't need it. See if kill them or not. I've got a new spare set if I do. It's probably best to learn on a set without gouges and nicks, and already at the correct angle, than ones that are trashed.- Joe
