Mag 3 Auger

[drewbop]

seeing if there is a fix for the little amount of trouble i'm having with my old mag 3 auger. it drills just fine and i can put a decent amount of pressure on it while drilling, but each time i get to the bottom of the hole it snags up and will not drill through. typically i have to baby it through the bottom while it gets snagged up and stops drilling.

is there a fix for it?

thanks-

The pitch of your blade is probably off, you will need to bring it in and have the pitch adjusted.

it felt like the auger didn't have enough power to get through the ice. it would drill great until the last couple inches and snag up. i messed with the carb and made a few adjustments and now it works great-thanks for the advice tho-

Having to apply downward pressure = dull blades. Babying though the ice = dull blades and maybe, if your unit is like mine, many hours, like the tech at H2 said, "it is a little loose and seen better times."
