broken line Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I have a strike lite auger, replaced the bit with a metal one and bought new auger blades last season. Auger cuts a new hole fine, but i had a real tough time reopening holes in the house today. It just bounced at the top of the hole and wouldn't bite at all. Any suggestions? I have not had this problem in past years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad B Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 hope you didn't knock the blades out of pitch when it was bouncing. I would test by trying to drill a new hole someplace where no one has drilled before to see if it will cut on new ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Hage Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Did you buy a Lazer or Chipper drill ? The chipper will open old holes easy but the lazer is another story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
