can this be used on ice fishing auger blades?

It would depend on the thickness of the blade and the angle of the curve. If the blade is thin enough to fit in the sharpening groove and the diameter of the auger is sufficiently large that the curve is gentle enough to allow it to be run along the length, it should work.

I agree with Damon but, I seriously doubt this is what you need. I've always used a file or small grinder to sharpen mine. They're coming out with new things all the time though. Drill Dr. has a new belt grinder which may work but, it's about $100 (available on Amazon). Try emailing Smiths - www.smithsproducts.com - they may have something or could direct you to another Amazon vendor. I've always had luck doing that.

I would use the Lansky sharpening puck. I wouldnt use metal files, that would grind down the thin metal of the machete horrendously, when all you need is an edge.

I have never tried it with dry ice, however given that this does not crush but rather shaves combined with the very high torque of this unit I would think that it would be fine. The motor is very powerful and the blade appears very substantial.

it has a one year warranty and the auger is plastic however it takes a beating. I found the problem with this item after many hours of use the support handle shown mid way on the pole, broke off. I purchased a ice chipper handle that is used to attach to ice chippers and it fits nicely to the pole and I did not lose any time. With the snow we received in CT this item worked great and I am glad I purchased it before the snow dropped. It worked great on wood decks and did not hurt the finish.

Yes. My Ariens snow blower ate a brick. Both shear pins 'sheared' off with no damage to the auger or discharge blades. There is an excellent short video on YouTube explaining how to replace broken shear pins.

Sorry cant answer your question since I only use it for crushed ice, go on line and google the product or ask the question in google and see if it can answer your question.

It might work, but i would most likely be the last time you'd be able to use it, and I wouldn't try it. Diamond blades/bits can only withstand so much heat before they "deteriorate". That's why many blades and bits recommend you use them wet (some are approved for dry). The water helps to keep the bits/blades cool to prolong the life of them. Also, this wheel is more expensive than a normal cutting/grinding wheel. It's safer to and more effective to use them instead.

Yep. Use it on mine. I would suggest getting extra metal blades, it doesn't come with enough in my opinion.

I don't see why not. I presume you intend to spray it on the blades and underside of the mower deck. It should prevent build up of grass cuttings if you spray it on each time you use the mower. It worked great on the snow blade of my garden tractor and the blades of my snow thrower to prevent build up of snow and ice. I re-applied it each time it snowed because the abrasion of snow and ice tend to clean it off after hard use.

I've never tried it but I would assume as long as it's frozen solid, it should shave just fine.

Yes - we are using it on metal parts. Make sure you have the sanding belts and sanding disks that work metal.

The auger is all part of the lower pole. You would have to saw the auger off but I would no recommend it.

If you just replaced the paddles and not the scraper blade together what happens is that as the auger turns the paddle it will throw the snow some toward your feet because of the worn scraper blade and some at the chute. Therefore it will leave some snow behind. Just one quick note these snow throwers don't really do a 100 % removal on uneven surfaces. Mine has done fine for the last 2 years.

This is the normal Oster blade. It can be used to crush ice. However, there is a blade that is specifically designed for crushing ice. I got that one from another Amazon vendor who listed it as a normal blade. I returned it as I wanted a normal blade.

Are you kidding? Like nothing. It wil dull the blade though if it's still happens to be frozen solid.

I just use it not getting it wet or anything . I think water might rust the blades

Don't see why not. One adds whatever they want to the mixing jar and the machine shaves ice into it and then mixes the concoction throughout the process. Would imagine that you could add a slushy mix before the ice or simply drizzle it on the ice after shaving as it is a reel fine shaved ice that would be perfect for icee's etc.
