Fabricated 600mm Auger head with carbide and pinnacle cutters. The outer pinnacle teeth were made to collapse so that the head could be withdrawn with the steel sleeve still in place. A special drive adapter for the head was also fabricated to accept the square drive of the auger boring machine.

Resizing Augers

Resizing some 20 augers which are 3 m long .The outside diameter had to be reduced to 910 mm in size. A special jig was built to cut the outside diameter down with a plasma cutter. Many of the drive flanges also had to be replaced and drilled so they could match each other.


Heavy and bulky these augers were put in a special jig to make sure the outer diameter was spot on 910 mm.
