fiskyknut Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Capn'ski. I hear ya but not everyone is a yarnspinner I'd hope. Man I've spent some winters working on the LOTW ice sheet and have drilled alot of holes on particular days and it can kinda suck when the hole count gets way high.. Mind you this is reopening alot of holes in huts with an 8 inch chipper and 24 inch extention thru 3+ foot of ice. Fun fun then you get to take a break and slush everything !! Ouch my back !! 200 holes with a five inch shaver bit thru fresh ice would be gravy in comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainMusky Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 LOTW been there many times with 3' plus ice. Two years ago a buddy and I had two 12" extensions together just to get through. Only to realize are must have been on an old ice road! Lol. We had to look hilarious as he stood on the seat of his snowmobile to drill holes lol.

Boar Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I used to have a camper house that was two ft off the ice. Had two 12"exts to. Had tip it side ways to put in and out of the hole and it would flood out each hole. Maddening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiskyknut Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 CM.. Yepper those old roads can be extra thick and they're pretty hard on the shaver blades too!!Boar I bet you actually like drilling in your new hut now after that monster.

JuanArellano Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I have been running a M18 Milwaukee, for the past 3 years for anything under 20 niches of ice. I have put my clicker to work to see just how many holes I would get out of a battery. with a 6" bit I can get 70 hole in 12 inches of ice. I got 50 hole in 20 inches of ice. With 3 battery's on a average day drilling holes for 4 guys we would get plenty of hole to fish all day long. I am very happy with the my clam/millwaukee set up...
