ice auger blades

[Tianaz]

Is there anyone in the Omaha area who can sharpen auger blades? When we use to go to Minnesota, you could find places to trade you old ones plus $10 and get a nice used sharp set. I have three duller like this https://under-the-open-sky.com/best-ice-augers than dull on dulls dullest day sets, and would like them sharp.

Tianaz, welcome to the forum! For a Tormeker equipped with Scissors jig or the Tool rest it will be an easy task to sharpen your ice auger blades. I am over the pond, in Europe, so I cannot do it for you.

I am interested in how this might be done.  I have a friend who asked me if I could sharpen ice auger bits and I told him that I thought so, but would have to see the bits to figure out how. 

Tianaz, do you have a Tormek to use for this, or are you looking for actually looking for someone to
do it for you?

I have sharpened many ice auger blandes, but i live in Norway so i cant help you.
For the Mora Ice augers i use the knife jig, and grind a 17,5 degrees with a 30 degrees Micro bevel.
