The blades are junk. I put in maybe 20 holes through 24 in. ice and the blades are dull. Can you mora blades in replacement?

Hve used my auger 2 years and usually drill 10-15 holes in 3' of ice and have not had a problem with sharpness yet.

I've drilled maybe 50 holes from 24 to 36 inches and haven't had a problem. I never stand mine on my blades and always leave the guard off to dry completely. I also don't drill holes where there is sand, dirt etc on the surface. The ION blades are the only kind to use as the motor is not powerfully enough for a ripper blade

Hi, Candy, I'm not the manufacturer. I'm a customer too. Have no idea if the blades are replaceable. Try contacting MIU France.

Hi, I'm not sure I can find these blades available. Can you send me just a couple to try? What we have now just isn't working. It was a Christmas gift that went all wrong. I am so sorry this has happened. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. I sencerely thank you.

They can be replaced with standard, but you won't need to change very often unless you plan on turning 8 - 10hrs a day 7 days a week. Just kidding. I'm still useing the originals after about 7mo. and all you need to do when dull is rotate to a new edge. Big Guy Productions (Captain Eddie) on UTube has replacements for about half price of Harrison. Hope that helps and good turning. It's addictive!

I have them done locally, and they do a great job for $5 per bladeset. Once sharpened, though, the lifespan drops dramatically, so I only sharpen them once then chuck them. You can try doing it yourself with a grinder, but it's tricky and a good grinder is expensive. Watch for sales (pet supply stores, vet supply, horse supply) and stock up when you can.

I don't know, mine has never lasted long enough to dull the blades. I've gone through two of them thus far. Probably on the waring site.

I don't know. I was just getting ready to figure that out. Mine could use a new blade. If I couldn't find it on Amazon I was going to try Lowes. It's my go to store.

I would suggest you lube the cutters every time you use it. The blades create a lot of friction and could cause the part you mention to fail.

I have sharpened mine and they seem none the worse for it. I decided they were cheap enough that I could replace it if I ruined it.

These blades suck, look elsewhere, I clipped one part of a nail, which was really more of a tear and that was the last time I ever used them. Get the victornox ones.

Absolutely not. I had some old blades that I practice with. Also sought advice from employee's who use the same equipment at lawn mower repair shops.

Hi, sorry took so long to get back to you, electric went out last night. I checked blades and they have a notch on ends of blade and 3 holes. No groves.

It says they are replaceable. Try going to Gardena.com At the bottom it says contact. Click on it and a form will pop up. For subject choose spare parts. Ask where they may be obtained and they will answer. This is the first time I have seen that they are made in the US. So, if that is true, as well as them saying replaceable, you may be in luck. Wonder if someone sharpens them of you are unable to get a new blade?

I would contact the manufacturer and ask them about it - my best guess is the blades aren't sharp enough - they should be razor sharp. The only time we've had trouble cutting holes is if we leave it sitting outside wet, and the blades freeze and have a layer of ice on them (but this will be an issue with any auger out there).

We haven't had to replace the blades, however when we did have a problem with the unit, we were able to get a replacement from the same vendor. Fast service. They answered our questions quickly via email and were most helpful. I am sure that they can either get parts or help you get a replacement. Be aware though that there wouldn't be any warranty so you would be better off, as we were, by getting the replacement. They can send an entire new unit for a special price, probably cheaper than a part would be.

Probably but message the manufacterer. You would surely meed to replace the blade.

I have not had to sharpen the blades as of yet, (I have used 2 summers). However, if I had to I would take to my lawnmower person for sharpening or new blades. :)
