seeing all these agricultural augers moving corn all over my new environment here in Iowa has me wondering... How are augers made?
Do they beat the hot metal into shape? Or does some kind of extrusion come out hot and it's then bent and shaped as it cools?
I'm thinking the overall OD must be pretty consistent to move small corn kernals and not crush them so the shape must have a fairly tight tollerance?
Any pictures of augers being made around?
