[quote kentd71]With augers do not hit them on the ice or you can bend the metal where blades attach. This will throw off the angle of the blades and will wander alot when starting a hole. You can shim the back side of the blades to change the cutting angle .[/quote]
I've done that dozens and dozens of times with mine and it doesn't appear to have changed the angle. Maybe your is a cheaper metal or something. Either way, I agree with you. If it doesn't change the angles, it definitely will dull the blades quickly. It's not a good idea. I've also broken blades that way. Good blades a brittle and will break. That ruins them for sure.
