Anyone know if there are still any likely walk-in sources for Greenlee/Forest City style augers for American pattern hollow mortising chisels, 7/8" size?
Rochester, Syracuse would be close enough....
Typical head popped off in first plunge of last mortise in series, only another few to go with same set up. Better than midway because it can be finished with a hand mortise chisel. But not so convenient the next 24, which are one plunge each (square) for muntin bars.
Failing that, I'll probably silver solder on a HSS slug to end of the old one, and reshape it.
Or go to home despot and find a bell-hanger or ship auger of suitable size to regrind/re-purpose.
