I have some dull blades now on my auger and was wondering what you guys do.Do you find someone to sharpen them and get new ones to rotate or do an exchange somewhere? I have a 6" lazer and 8.25" chipper

[harvey lee]

I always have a extra set of blades for any auger I own. That way, when I dull one on the lake by mistake, I can change them out right away.

Then I will exchage them if the company has an exchange policy.

[eyebjim]

You can exchange your blades or buy new ones for the lazer. I have not heard any good news of people sharpening them with success. The chipper you can sharpen with a good file.

My dad does that too with a file and i was just seeing how many more people do this. Would definately be cheap!

hamms just do the exchange right at strike master. 6" lazer blades are $25.95 for the blade exchange and the 8.25" chipper blade exchange price is $19.95

[hamms-scooter]

I can get a new chipper for 19.99 and keep the old one. The lazer blade might just have to be exchanged. Thanks ... just wanted to see what alot of guys do on here so many strikemaster users out there

hamms where is the place that has the chipper for that price. I may have to get a spare at that price.

After WASTING waaay too much cash on blade exchanges at several bait shops/sporting goods stores throughout the state the past 10 years that always swore, "These are resharpened at the factory in Big Lake"...then going to SM last spring and having the tech tell me that they don't resharpen - I was a bit peeved.

Note from admin, please read forum policy before posting again, thank you.

Now when I asked the tech what I was supposed to do with my dull set - he just shrugged...so all this does not seem right for such an advanced set of blades?

I was told by the strikemaster tech that the exchange blade is a new blade but is doesn't come in the fancy plastic packaging as a way to keep the cost down for the public. also they take the old blades that people bring in and recycle them(they get money from scrap yards for these). so they basically give you a credit towards a different blade when you bring in your old blades since they make money off your old blade. now the exchange blades that some baitshops deal in may be resharpen by a joe smoe in a garage but the exchange directly from strike master are not resharpened by them.

I just got an email from them today explaining that they no longer make blades for my auger, but they can resharpen mine and send them back?

quijibo what auger do you have.

[quijibo]

The head is a Magnum III, not sure what the drill is. I've asked SM 3 times and all that they will tell me is that they no longer make the blades(10"). I bought it pretty cheap and it runs great. I do wish that the seller wouldn't have started it in the parking lot, bye bye sharp blades. Sorry for the crappy pic.

My dad is still running his mag 3 and loves it. Runs perfect! That looks like an old mora blade set... Bet its a 10" mora just my guess

They make 10" chipper and 10" lazer blades, just not the blades in question I guess. Those do look like a large mora blade. I'd buy a lazer auger bit, be done with it. A new bit would be about $100 more than replacing blades (if you could..) Pretty sure a lazer blade would rip on that powerhead.

[harvey lee]

How did the cutting blade get dulled starting it in the parking lot?

Wasn't the blade cover on the auger cutting head?

[hamms-scooter]

You would like the lazer!

[quijibo]

It is a 10" Mora auger. The auger didn't come with a cover. I went to make room for the auger in my truck and I heard the motor start, I turned around to see the blades spinning on asphalt. We were having a pretty good discussion going up until that point.

I just got clarification from SM, they no longer make 10" Mora blades and they no longer sharpen them. I guess I didn't get such a great deal on my auger after all. Hopefully I can get a good deal on a drill unit that will match up to my powerhead. Do new drill units come with sharp blades, hopefully Swedish?

Adam

[harvey lee]

I would assume that all new drill units come with sharp blades. Never heard of one not being sharp.

One might check around to see if someone can figure out how to sharpen your blade you have now.

[quijibo]

I have a couple of local recommendations for getting my blades sharpened. I am a little concerned because if they get it wrong, I am kind of screwed.

quijibo,

I have a local shop by me that has drill units on clearance right now. a 8" lazer unit is $130.00, 10" lazer is $155.00. 8.25" or 10.25" chipper style drill units are $80.00 for either size.

[Brad B]

all auger drill units are interchangable on the strikemaster powerheads. I also have the magIII and will be putting a lazer drill unit on it next fall before the season starts.

Very good prices....... I just recently bought a Lazer Pro 10" Solo for $430.

If you are in the cities. Go to D-rock. They have replacement generic blades for a lot less.
