162310 Timothy A Collins <timothy.a.collins@d...> 2006‑08‑03 hollow auger sharpening
Hey all, 

I've been trying to get my hollow auger to work right, but I think the 
blade is sharpened wrong: Its sharpened on both sides (like a knife) 
rather than just on one side (like a normal plane blade). 

looking at how these work, they seem to be more of a plane that goes 
around in a small circle. Should I re-grind the blade to a 30-35 degree 
angle, like a plane? 

thanks

tim

faster)
