Fly the Team Iceshanty Flag! Iceshanty Proshop
So I took my Mora 8" and unscrewed the crank from the auger. Went to my shop and made a conversion bit. Then added a 5 inch plate with a bearing and tack welded it to the auger and attached a bungee cord to go over the drill. (just I case the chuck loosens) Then welded the bitto the auger. Went out on the ice 3 deg. with Dewalt 20 volt batteries in my coat. The key to any of these augers/cordless combo are sharp blades!!! My test: semi dull blades, 8 inches of ice, 3 deg "F" Drilled 14 and a half holes battery dead. Sharp blades, 8 inches of ice, 3 deg. Drilled 38 holes the battery had 1 bar left, but was tired of drilling. Each hole was drilled under 8 seconds. Make sure you use the "T" handle....Torque is crazy!!Two things: sharp blades and warm batteries.
The Milwaukee batteries are made for "COLD" weather, you don't have to keep them "WARM" . I think they are the only company that has "perfected" the lithium batteries, so far!!
Any end of season deals on the clam plate?
wind chill means nothing to inanimate objects.
Put a glass of water out in 0 degrees with 20mph winds and it will freeze no faster than if there is no wind
no wind chill is just how the temperatures feel if it's windy. It doesn't actually change the actual temperatures. Put a glass of water out in 0 degrees with 20mph winds and it will freeze no faster than if there is no wind but it "feels" colder to an animal. that's what wind chill is. It's how it feels to an animal, including us. Doesn't change the fact that it's only 0 degrees. Inanimate objects don't freeze faster because of it. Now ice, snow and moisture blowing into electrical components is another thing altogether.
yeah... ok, but that works with kool aid and water. Not batteries. If the battery is 0 degrees, it isn't gonna get colder than 0 degrees just cuz it's windy. Wind chill isn't going to affect batteries or other inanimate objects. You guys are comparing apples to screwdrivers. They ain't the same things. Remember, we're talking about cordless drills here.
In talking with the guys at Clam at the ice show this past weekend, they hinted that they will have a drill cover available next season.
just gonna say this last thing then I'm not gonna waste time any more.No, you are clueless. Wind chill has nothing to do with how wind causes anything to freeze faster. You are making up definitions to suit your own purpose.Wind-chill or windchill, (popularly wind chill factor) is the perceived decrease in air temperature felt by the body on exposed skin due to the flow of air.take your own advise and educate yourself.done.
wind chill, the cooling effect of wind and temperature combined, expressed in terms of the effect produced by a lower, windless temperature, also called wind chill factor, wind chill temperature, wind chill equivalent temperature, wind chill index, wind chill equivalent index, and wind chill temperature index. Wind chill is based on the rate of heat loss from exposed skin. Under windless conditions air provides an invisible blanket around the skin. As wind speed increases, this layer of heated air is carried away from the body at an accelerated rate, forcing the body either to work harder to generate more heat or cool down. If the actual air temperature is −5°F;(−21°C;) with a 20 mph (32 km/hr) wind, the wind chill temperature is −29°F;(−34°C;). Because wind chill is based the removal of heat from the human body, it does not reflect the increased rate of heat loss for inanimate objects such as automobile radiators under the same conditions but they also experience a faster heat loss with increasing winds.
HANG ON!!!!! Im popping popcorn now.....
