Can the length of the auger (depth of hole) be extended?

Yes it Can. Just go to your local Hardware store (Home Depot) and buy the length you need. Works Great !

Yes, real easy just add a pipe coupling and more or longer 3/4" pipe but the longer you make it the heavier it will get, no problem if your doing fence post, I knew a guy that did a water well, I had no idea how strong he was till I owned one. Also the blades can adjust out for 6x6 post.

Yes, standard threaded black pipe and couplings (available at Homedepot, Lowes, etc.)can be used to extend the auger to any depth.

I bought one for a draw that is 14"wide, 18"deep, 11"high and was able to modify it to fit. However, it required a hacksaw blade to reduce the steel bars to correct length to fit the draw depth. I also had to cut the plastic components to fit my draw width of 14" as well as use some glue to hold plastic components together. It now fits well and is working as intended. It took about an hour to modify.

About 8 and one quarter inches from the chuck to the heal. Closing the chuck for a small bit would increase the length.

The shaft of the auger is basically standard black iron pipe, with the handle fitting welded to the top. The auger harness/yoke should just unscrew from the handle, and you could just add a pipe coupler and nipple/extension piece to make it as long as you want. The holes I used mine for were 30 inches deep, and I didn't need to extend the pipe, although if I was going any deeper, I would have.I also have to agree with lpcrsotp, I won't use a clamshell post hole digger again after buying one of these. I put in a quarter mile of fence this spring using one of these.

Yes, i have not tried that but do not see why it would matter how far or short the extension. unit works nicely

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

The way it is designed that may not be possible. what you might try is measure the extreme outside diameter, (OD) of each end and see what sizes are available.

Yes it can, I am not sure at this moment but the hole looks 1/4 Inch or 6mm.

My plant work is near the 50' recommended limit for 12AWG. But frankly, I wouldn't be concerned about extending it (which I have). This is not a continuous running tool.

It makes a hole slightly bigger than 6", more like 7 or 8 inches. I found that the auger was great to make an easy to dig deep hole, and then if I wanted to widen it I simply shoveled away some of the edge.

I dont c a reason why you couldn't It depends how sharp your drill bit is. :-) it isnt super thick, it isnt a big safe. I woukd start with a thin bit than increase the size making bigger holes each time.

I'm sure you can extend the length with no problem. Just buy the correct gauge and use good connectors. It would be a very easy project.

great idea with the auger anchor. i was going to buy a big square one and i wasnt sure how i was going to attach the opposite side.. i might try that.

The auger section is about 10 inches and from the tip of the auger to the upper end of the shaft it is 24 inches long over all.The construction and welds look very good. I am sure it will work great this coming spring. Thanks, Bear

It would be very difficult to use a drill. Because of the length of the auger.

the auger is 30" but the power head has 6" shaft. I believe there is a extension available. Other manufacture augers will fit on this machine.

I do not have an extension for this lathe but did for one simmaler. I would say it would work OK.
