Ice King Auger help

[Bscott]

Hi, I have an old ice king gas auger with a chipper style blade on it....I am in need of a new blade and having no luck finding one!  Anyone know where I can get one, or if there are any other blades that might fit?  New or used doesn't really matter just need to find one!  Thanks!

You could take the old blade to a store and find one where the holes are similar?
Or you could redrill the holes on the auger to fit a newer blade.  (just remember which one you put on for the next time)

Do ya need a new one or get it sharpened?

Well, I sharpened the one I have and it is ok, but the guy I got it from did something to it...I am not sure what he did but it had no angle left on the blade, the teeth were flat, so by the time I got an angle cut back into it and got it sharp it had taken quite a bit of material off....so I am just a little concerned about how much life it has left.  It will get me by for now, but I would like to find a replacement before I need it, rather than doing all the searching when I need it and missing out on some fishing!

Vados bait in Spring Lake Park knows a guy they used to send folks blades in to for sharpening,  you could call them... next time Im in there Ill ask about the Ice King blades... yeah youd be suprised how easy it is to screw up auger blades... Been there, done that!

you can also drop your blades off at the wilcraft shop in maplewood they have a guy that sharpens or might be able to duplicate that style blade

Thanks for the suggestions!  I will give both those places a call and see what they can do.... I really appreciate the advice.
