Removing Bladed Auger Bit Teeth

Bladed teeth are found on all A series earth auger bits. Follow these first steps to remove them.

1. If a nylon pin (Pinloc) is in place, remove it using a hole puncher or by breaking the pin. Pinloc is available on A4 auger bits only.

2. Place a punch in the groove on the back of the tooth, Tap on the back of the punch with a hammer to dislodge the tooth. This should also release the Rubberloc, if used.

3. If the tooth is jammed or difficult to remove, a pin punch or center punch can be placed at the base of a tooth (to dislodge it), and tapped out with a hammer.


Installing Bladed Auger Bit Teeth

Once removed we move onto replacing the teeth. Are you adding rubber or pin loc for additional hold? Then make sure to check out the rubberloc & pinloc steps below as well.

1. Place the auger bit so the head is easily accessible. Secure it in place, to ensure it cannot fall.

2. With the auger bit hub on the ground and the auger bit head facing up, turn the tooth so that the punch groove is facing up. For a more in-depth illustration, move to the bottom of the page.

3. Place the tooth in the pocket, and knock it in with a soft head mallet. A standard hammer will shatter the tungsten tips.

4. Ensure all teeth and pilot are locked in tight before starting to drill.

While the vulcanized rubber pads will hold the tooth firmly in place for most applications, we recommended that you use an additional method to secure the tooth. The following steps show you how to install the rubberloc and pinloc options.


Adding Rubberloc 

Follow these steps to add Rubberloc for additional hold.

1. Cut the rubber approximately 3mm shorter than the tooth width. Moisten the rubber in water to assist in tooth insertion. Do not use oil. 

2. Insert the cut piece of rubber through the horizontal hole inside the tooth holder. Place the teeth in the pockets.

3. With the auger bit tooth placed in the pocket, knock the tooth in with a soft head mallet.

4. The rubber folds back and compresses between holder and tooth locking the tooth firmly in position.


Adding Pinloc (A3 & A4 series auger bits only)

Follow these steps to add the Pinloc. Pinloc is used for drilling in hard to very hard soils and rock, or for tree roots where reversing the auger bit is necessary.

1. Once the teeth have been replaced according to previous steps, insert the Nylon Pin through the top of the pocket. 

2. Knock the pin in with a soft head mallet, to lock the tooth into place.



Ensure your teeth are installed correctly!
