I keep having issues starting my cuts, like the auger wants to run out of the hole instead of biting and continuing the cut. I have to use a fair bit of force for it to bite, and It bounces around and makes a hole larger than 8 inches. I did some research and found out I stupidly banged the cutting face down at the bottom of my hole to clear the remaining chunks of ice at the bottom. Doing a visual check, it looks perfect. They are new blades and put on correctly.
My ultimate goal is to save up for a gas auger but I have to make things work for now.
