Dave, You can find old "T" augers at flea markets or in antique shops. I have found a lot this way and paid as little as $7.00 for some bits and up to $24.00. It is a shame that you have to cut off the handle an waste a beatiful antique. I just found a 2" auger after looking for a year and spent about an hour sharpening it and it works great. Also try Northern Safety 1-800-631-1246. Good luck, John
