Thank ya Sir!Was 99.9% certain it is the 42 since couldnt find the other in searching it. When you fab'd the Kdrill did you just use an extension or is there a cheaper alternative to get the male end?
You are correct. I pulled the non quick lok images. This is the exact one that fits the kdrill power head attachment. Please keep in mind that you can also use the quick lok extensions for a auger extension also. I believe they have a 5 inch and a 18inch extension.Also is the 12" extension Milwaukee #48-28-1040. The 5", 12" & 18" are all available at your friendly HD store.
I'm going to rig up an adapter to run my 10" SM Lazer Pro shaver on the Mud Mixer. Originally was thinking using the keyed chuck but after messing with the quik lok system today and seeing how rigid that system is I'm sold on it. The plan is to simply cut a 5.5" extension roughly in half. Weld the male end to 7/8 shaft for the auger and replace the chuck w/ quik lok eventually. In the meantime...use the other half of the extension (female end) chucked up in the Mud Mixer. I guess when I get the chuck swapped out I'll have to either use my m18 drill for my Kdrill or make it quick lok ready also like whitefishmt did.
I machined it my self.
Whitefish, did you simply machine 3 more flats onto the current k-drill adapter or did you have cut the end off and make something new and then somehow mount it to what still looks like the stock K-Drill adapter? At a quick glance it looks like, but I have not measured, that I can just mill the 3 extra flats on it and lathe the slot to make it 7/16" hex quik-loc compatible.
I’m not sure why all the hate for the chuck? I used the Mud Mixer with the standard chuck all year last year with an 8” Nils and it performed flawlessly. Lost on the whole Quik-Lok thing?DN
What speed are you guys running your mud mixers on? Anybody had issues with them shutting off? I have one with a 8" pistol bit and quick lok but have not used it yet.
Mine was shutting off the other day on an 8” orange Nils. Not too impressed. Might put it back on the smaller auger from now on. I run it balls to the wall on high speed. On any speed, it was struggling after the first six holes. 6” of HARD ice.
I wonder if your batteries are giving up the ghost? That is completely opposite of my experience, I run an 8” blue Nils non-pp, hasn’t been sharpened in years. I can drill 30-40 holes in 12” ice and be down one bar on my battery (fresh 9.0). It’s an absolute beast and nothing seems to stop it. You might want to look into the health of the battery or mixer, it should do WAY better than what you are seeing.
I'll second this. Something has got to be wrong. I have the 5.0ah batteries, 2704 drill, and 8" blue Nils and have drilled 40-50 holes in a day and have never had a shutdown.
