You have me beat in that you couldn't pay me to hand drill a hole with a ten inch auger an eight inch is enough of a pain when you have good thick ice.
Why not just buy the ten inch bit from a power auger?? Would be easier then finding a nills ??
because it would defeat the purpose of a drill auger. light and easy. plus a really heavy power auger bit would more then likely burn up a drill.
With the clam plate and electric drills pushing 1200in/lbs plus and clam having the gear box, are any companies coming out with 10in hand augers? I know nils has one, but they are about like finding a unicorn.....and expensive. I'd like to get one just for the wheel house, so when it's cold a guy's hole doesn't ice closed so fast.
10" gas auger bit on a drill set up? Even with the Clam reduction gear, that set up would be a pig. Weight and speed reduction of the gearing plus the amount of ice that comes out of a 10" hole...I'd like to see that in action. How many holes do you think you would get with a heavy gas auger 10" bit??The drills rigs are really only meant to spin light hand augers and maybe 8" max.
I do use the 10" Nils on my Clamplate. My plate does not have the gear box. I have zero issues punching holes with it. If I intend on punching a lot of holes I just put the bit back on the Tanaka.My Mikita has 1000in/lbs of torque. Your Milwaukee should work great
If it's for a fish house won't a 10 inch "ion" electric auger bit work with your drill?? Or what about buying the ion it's self??
Why not just drill two or three 8 inch holes close together?? then punch out the rest with a spud?? if it's just for a flasher that's why guys like that 6inch laser or 7 inch mora cause.. they punch 3 holes in a triangle shape and gives more area at that point.. another point is why buy non need equipment. Is most likely a lot of guys views.. and why they don't make it.. like a lot are saying that the 8 inch is hard enough to turn. That's why they don't make the 10 inch..
Prospector from wyoming has a 10in nils on a milwaukee drill, but I'm pretty sure it was not your normal around the house drill and that thing cut like no other thru 2'+ of ice. No Prob. No plate needed. I'll hit him up and see if he has a pic of it or info on it
Milwaukee super hawg
I hear ya on the other points.. I sent you a pm on who sells the nils 10 inch nils hand auger for $360 might want to call them ?? and maybe pre sale buy it so they can order it in for you?? B4 ice season? ?
While I'd like a nils. I'm not paying $360 for a 10in hand auger, and $199.00 for a 10in cutting head. I'll wait and see if I can find an old 10in mora. That is just rediculous.
