AMS Professional Soil Augers |
|
Augers for almost any soil
condition. |
|
|
_ |
AMS makes augers for almost any soil condition.
Designed for rapid penetration as they enter the soil. Easy to remove as the cut hole is larger than the cylinder, preventing drag. Emptying is facilitated with the extra long, open bail (see figure).
Augers feature 1.6mm (5/8) NC threaded or optional AMS quick-connect couplings. Bits are flush welded to the stainless steel cylinder topped by a carbon steel bail, forged from special high-carbon alloy. Cutting edges are tungsten carbide hard-surfaced and heat-treated before sharpening. Stainless steel augers are available with stainless steel bails and bits.
AMS Augers
AMS Auger heads are available in all stainless steel or carbon steel bits with stainless steel cylinders. Custom build your own auger using compatible AMS components. Augers are available in traditional Threaded ends or Quick Connect ends - depending on your needs. Handles and extensions are listed
below, following the entire range of auger heads.
What to do when youre ready to order!
1. Size
Specify the diameter based on the size of hole you want to drill. The actual hole will be .95 cm (3/8) to 1.90cm (3/4) larger than the specified auger diameter. AMS Soil augers come in nine standard sizes. Our most popular size is the 8.3cm (3-1/4) diameter auger.
2. Material
Select a standard alloy auger (tungsten carbide surfaced, hardened high carbon bits/stainless cylinder and high carbon steel bail) for most applications. Use an all stainless steel auger for sensitive sampling and where an acid bath decontamination procedure will be used.
3. Type
AMS manufactures six specific types of soil augers to suit almost any soil type. Choose from our most popular regular soil auger or specific type augers including mud, sand, planner, flighted screw auger or fibrous core cutter. Select the type of auger from this catalogue. Call our toll-free number and talk with our customer service advisors if you need help.
4. Connections
AMS offers two types of connections for its Auger Heads, Extensions and T-handles: conventional Threaded and Quick Connect.
