I've yet to see any local shop able to sharpen these fussy augers..

for $20 he sets factory blade edge, removes all dents and pits,alignes and sharpens the auger... he also tests his work on a block of ice to be sure it is cutting exact... he did mine and it cut better when I got it back than when I bought it..for what these augers cost... it's worth the shipping fee ( priority medium flat rate $11.35)

Thanks this is great info. Was starting to have a hard time drilling holes by hand with my 8" last year so it's probably time to send it out.

I thought there was a small engine repair guy in Mass that sharpened Nils auger heads too, but can't find the link. I've used Frank in MN before. Speedy, top-notch work.
