Computer Program To Repair Grain Augers, Post Hole Diggers
I've written a computer program that should be useful to anyone who has to repair a grain auger, post hole digger or other similar equipment with helical flighting. This pro-gram calculates how much flighting you can cut out of a flat metal blank and how to cut it. You just key in auger inner diameter, outer diameter and the pitch of the flighting. The screen then tells you the dimensions for cutting up a blank so you can cut it on line through the center and pull it into a starting helix (right or left hand), then weld it end to end on the cut line. Then you just pull it to full pitch and weld it to the core shaft.I'm selling copies of this software for $25. Requires an IBM or IBM compatible computer with 3.5 or 5.35 disc (specify format).
