Send it to frank he will make it right. His info is at the top of the page.
That's the plan. I'll contact him to get a turnaround time estimate.
Well that's fun. It's been like this since I bought it from Cabela's last year...
Buy a spare head and send old one to frank sharp nils . Seem I had same problem from cabelas it's like they dropped every one of thier augers on the head so you get to pay less for it?? Brand new auger I had same problem with as you cut three hole and was dull boght two new blades for it still useing the the first of the two blades I bought for it 5 yrs ago try ebay and amazon for people sellin new blades Luke reeds sports they sell on bolth ect ect..
Frank is local to me and does an excellent job.Thank God because in a bad year I drill thousands of holes looking for dead people. I've used every major brand of auger. 6" nils with a milwaukee drill out does them all.
Spare heads I am finding online are $130. I think I'm better off buying some $20 used auger as a backup, and sending this head off to Frank. Still a couple weeks away from ice here, so I've got time.
I can see how it would be possible to bend the cutting head if it was really thrown around, or beat on.......from my experiance though a person would have to be pretty pretty ruff with it.
When there's enough ice and your auger in by hand you don't want the cutting head to crap out that's why I say by a spare cutting head while you can send the one to frank get it sharpened asap .. The reason for the quote is I got mine from cabelas same thing happened as the op= orignal posters did wich leAves me to think either the shipping service is tossing the augers around or that's why cabelas cleared them out and why I got it so cheap?? the spare cutting heads I bought seemed sharper then origal I bought with the auger.. two heads probably only needed to buy one spare cause I buggered up the orignal one that came with auger trying to sharpen it .. and never sent it in.. the head I got now I going on some ware 3 to 5 years on right now.. had the auger for about 8 years total. the first 1 year the blade head crapped out.. and debated what to do after that bought two new heads 3 years later and been running my 8 inch same head for 3 to 5 years now would have to look at all sales slips to be certin of dates?? but for sure have not had to baby the new head.. it seems and have not had problems with it but just like the mora auger and laser augers they need sharpeNing too every once in a while seems more often with mora augers..and lasers then nils .?? but to be down and out 2 weeks for sharpining is not bad but like I said your not able to fish wich kind sucks that's why I suggest having a spare head around most even though they are expensive.. of all if your hand augering or even power augering. I don't think people want to be down and out of the game in peak season .. cause I know I don't..
Nope I'd agree with you.I think The chromium steel or whatever is why the nils heads stay sharp for so long.....must me a stronger steel or something.What did you get for cutting heads? I picked up a used 8in power point cutting head, and liked the power point so much I sold the regular cutting head and got a 2nd power point. I just found the power point allows a guy to start a hole exactly where you want it, which is nice when your trying to get a hole dead center in the wheel house.
Sounds interesting..Care to elaborate?
My guess is he is an emergency medical tech that must go out looking for bodies after people break through the ice.
Where can you get a black 8 inch replacement head ?
