Fisch 3/8" Mortising Chisel Augers being discontinued

[William Hodge]

Recently I had trouble finding augers for Fisch 3/8" hollow chisels. The reason why might be that Fisch is discontinuing them. It's too bad, the chisels work well. I don't understand why they would sell hollow chisels, but not replacement augers. I don't make a habit of ruining augers, but I have had trouble with the augers warping after mortising hard wood for days at a time.

Perhaps a spike in orders would encourage Fisch to keep selling the augers.

The email from Fisch is below.

Thank you, Mike. I hadn't heard of the Fuller Company. Fuller stocks Forest City. It's good to know that Forest City is still in business.
