Auger Extensions
Auger Extensions are used to compensate for the distance from the ground up to the rig.
To order these extensions please specify:
Our standard flighting is 3/8 (9.5 mm) at the outer edge with hardfacing material applied to the
working edge. Where severe conditions exist we have cobble chasers available which feature
double thick heavy-duty flighting, or any other thickness you desire.
Wide Flighting
Each size auger has a standard flighting size as listed on the catalog sheet. Often there is a
need for wider flighting to drill larger size holes. We will custom manufacture augers to meet your width
specifications.
Flighting Pitch
The pitch on an auger is the distance between the flights. The standard pitch for our augers is listed on
each individual catalog sheet. If you need a different pitch we will be more than happy to make the auger
pitch to whatever dimension you need.
I D of Auger
The I.D. (inside diameter) of the Hollow Stem Augers is considered to be the working area of the auger.
We manufacture to industry standards or we can make any I.D. that you might require.
Auger Length
Our augers are available in a standard industry length of 5 feet but we have manufactured augers up to
40 feet long and metric lengths are available on request.
Special Connections
Other connections are available: Tapered threads, Acker, Diedrich, etc. We also manufacture
extra heavy-duty tool joints for harsh applications.
Special Materials
The standard auger comes with 4142 heat-treated alloy tool joints, mild steel tube and 3/8
(9.5 mm) heavy duty steel flighting with hardfacing on the outer edge. These materials may be
modified to meet special needs. We are able to work with unusual requirements such as non-
magnetic material and corrosion resistant material.
Other Modifications
There are special needs for augers that have yet to be defined. Mills Machine stands ready to satisfy those
needs. We have a full line of augers and have been a leader in the development and design of special
augers for the individual requirements of our customers.

Auger Pilot Bits and Tool Joints
Auger Pilot Bits
Pilot bits are designed to fit snugly in the center of the auger ID for drilling
without sampling. The pilot bit OD is 1/8 smaller than the auger ID. Designed
to match the auger cutter head style, the pilot bit compliments the cutter head
for smooth, rapid drilling.
Pilot bits may be attached to the center drill rod string, with an additional drill rod connected as each
auger section is connected. For wireline sampling systems, the pilot bit is attached to the lead auger
latching tube and only another auger section is necessary as new depths are reached. The wireline
system is used to remove the pilot bit system and a sampling system inserted as required.
For details on formation capability of each style of pilot bit see the color bulletin in the front of this
section.
Auger Tool Joints
Mills Machine stocks auger tool joints for repair of Mills augers.
We also stock the cutter head connectors for repair or
modification of cutter heads. We will sell a small quantity of an
auger tool joints on an as needed basis. For prices or discussions
on larger volumes please contact your sales representative.
Used for recovery of hollow stem augers lost down-hole. Mills stocks the threaded ends and the tool joints to give fast response to your
needs. These tools are for each specific inside diameter of auger and are with left hand thread. Used on both standard and heavy duty-
tapered augers. Non-standard tool joints are readily available.
