[QUOTE="dun, post: 394626, member: 34"] I tied the cutting edgee that didn;lt work. I finally settled on the underside of the cutters and pieces about an inch long. Triedthe angle deal and the auger generated too much torq and just ripped them off. I did have a set of cutters that were toothed but those wore out way too fast even with the hard face. I once tried mounting the cutters one on the top of the spot that they would normally mount to and one on the bottom. It seemed to sork only slightly better then both on the same surface of the auger but it wore out the lower one a whole lot faster then the other. For the hard face I used crisscross lines of impact and wear type of hardface. That didn;lt make any difference that I could see. Finally settled on water after all of the attempts at finding a better way. But there isn;t anything that works when you hit a shelf of limestone that's very thick. In those places I either keep hunting around till I find a place I can get around it or settle for a shallowere hole and set the post in concrete with a higher (about 6" to a foot} square or round cement footing type of deal.
