Topic: Auger too big

Hi - the auger that came with my Filastruder (serial #787) is several thousandths of an inch larger than the pipe. Needless to say, it is not fitting into the pipe. The pipe was FULLY deburred. Should I be asking for a replacement?

Thanks -Jacqueline

Re: Auger too big

That seems odd, as I've been testing them before they go out.

At any rate, sure - email me at [email protected] and I'll get you set up with a replacement.

Re: Auger too big

Thanks I will email.  Taking a closer look at the auger it actually it flares out a bit. It will only go in to that point at which it binds completely. Checking it with a caliper shows that it not consistently the same diameter.
