Horizontal Auger Boring: drilling clay and gravel with a Dewalt DWD450 

customaugers.com/ Thanks again FDM!

Ha! Fido is not for sale. :)

@@beckymash12 Well I was hoping he would come with you!

It would depend on if the sand was well-compacted, it's moisture content, ect. I think you might have trouble with super-dry sand that had just been hauled in to a site. I do sell a lot of augers to sandy locations, so I think under most circumstances they must be working ok.

Hi Tim, vibration should be minimal as your drill should be operated at the lowest speed possible, and stress is placed on the flats of the hex shaft inside the auger drive and not on the set screws themselves. Right now I have a ten footer in the 4.75'' diameter for just under $800 and that includes shipping. Steel prices are getting crazy in 2021, so that price is subject to change. Thanks for your interest!

I have had customers who were able to shoot from both directions and meet in the middle. It's impossible to say you'll be on target each and every time, but yes, it's been done. Re: drill shaft- once you reach a length longer than your jump hole, you won't have any room to pull the auger back fully to shed the dirt. Plus you're talking a lot more time, a lot more effort the longer the length of the bore, all things we are hoping to save you. :) Great questions.

You can get 20 foot length schedule 40 PVC that "tapers" (made with a hub where you don't need couplings) making it easier to slide through. Yes, couplings increase the friction going through the completed bore, but the outside diameter of a coupling is 4.5'', so while you may get some resistance, a 4.75'' hole is still going to accommodate 4'' pipe with couplings. And I'm a fabricator, I can build the auger setup you're wanting, but I can't guarantee your dirt still won't lay in the hole behind the auger section. Thanks for your excellent questions!

Our augers have an adapter with a hex shaft that you tighten directly up on in your chuck. :)

Hi Bill, the only issue I foresee with the plain extension shaft is the removal of dirt from the hole. A fully flighted auger like our design alleviates that problem. You can purchase a 4.75'' diameter auger from us that is designed to fit 4'' pipe, I'm not sure if you'll find that diameter auger in the bigger box stores but maybe. Still, you should call us for a quote on a 14 footer, you might be surprised how affordable our augers are. Thank you for watching!

Just demonstrating how the auger works, Ken. Thanks for watching!

@@beckymash12 did you leave pipe in there I kinda want to go around my place doing this for the critters like the fox and opossums they would be nice and warm in the winter

That's better than them digging under your barn or shop! :) Yes the pipe is still there.

I dont mean to be so off topic but does anyone know of a trick to get back into an instagram account?? I stupidly forgot the password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me!

@Roger Wilder Instablaster =)

@Frederick Trenton thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

@Frederick Trenton It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thank you so much, you saved my account!

@Roger Wilder No problem xD

Hi- this is a 4.75'' diameter, 5 footer. It weighs around 21-22 pounds. A 5.75'' three foot long would weigh around 13-14 pounds. Hope this helps!

@@beckymash12 Thank you! 21-22 lbs for the 5-ft auger + 15-16 lbs for the drill = > That's almost 38 lbs for the whole set-up. You're one strong lady!

I just finished a sixteen footer (in three foot sections.)

No, but I've been encouraged to try. I would rather compete in a wood splitting contest! I love to chop wood. :)

We can fab just about anything. Just give us a holler!

:)

It does really well, as long as you're not in super hard ground like hard pan. The cutter blades can be filed if/when they eventually get some wear. Of course the entire front nose assembly is replaceable. Hope this helps!
