HEAVY DUTY TUBE
We know that our augers can expect a tough life, so we only use the highest-grade steel and vary our tube size according to machine size and application. Our augers have a reputation for being the toughest on the market.
SHALLOW PITCH FLIGHTS
By working with and, more importantly, listening to operators in the field, we have developed the perfect pitch for our flights, ensuring the spoil will stay on your auger when you remove it from the hole, giving you maximum efficiency on the job.
CONSTANT SPIRAL CUT
Our boring heads are designed with a constant spiral cut. Teeth are located so that each makes its own fresh cut on every revolution and are angled to direct spoil towards the center of the auger. The tooth-cutting angle ensures spoil is broken up thoroughly to avoid any clogging.
PILOT AND TOOTH OPTIONS
Our augers are offered with many different tooth and pilot options to suit your specific need. For example, in this S5 range, we offer up to eight different combinations, and we have the know-how to help you select the optimal configuration.
