All standard snap-on Little Beaver augers are equipped with hardened, replaceable points and side mounted cutting blades. These components do the actual cutting as the auger rotates, protecting the auger which guards against excessive wear. To insure maximum digging efficiency and auger life, the point and blade should be replaced when they become dull.

Small diameter augers (1.5", 2", 3") feature screw-on points only. All other points and blades are bolt-on. Only two bolt-on point sizes are required: one for 4" to 12" diameter augers, and the other for 14" and 16" diameter augers. The side-mounted cutting blade is available in the corresponding auger diameter size, from 4" to 16".

When drilling in hard clay, frozen ground, or hard pan soils, carbide blades are recommended. By cutting the clay or ground into small pieces rather than digging into these materials, you willl realize faster hole drilling.

These blades mount to the bottom of standard augers, replacing both the standard point and side cutting blade. Grade 5 mounting bolts and locknuts are included with the 4" to 14" carbide blades.
