The Ultimate Multi-Purpose Auger for Unpredictable Ground

The Digga RC (Earth/Rock Combo) Auger is a high-performance drilling solution engineered for operators who frequently encounter changing ground conditions. It features a specialised cutting head equipped with tungsten Taperloc teeth, providing the ripping power needed to penetrate fracturable rock, shale, and asphalt. While standard earth augers may struggle in rocky terrain, the RC range is built to bridge the gap, utilising heavy-duty flighting and a high-grade steel centre tube for maximum durability.

This model combines the efficiency of a standard auger with the aggressive power of an earth/rock drill. It features heavy-duty 8mm thick flights and a reinforced centre shaft to ensure longevity in the toughest Australian environments. The "Combo" design allows the auger to clear loose spoil effectively while the tungsten tapered lock teeth break through hard layers. With Digga’s "True Cut" engineering, you are guaranteed a precise 300mm hole diameter for consistent, professional results every time.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the RC4 better than the MFT or A4 series? The RC4 is your best option if you frequently encounter "mixed bag" ground. While the A4 is for soft/abrasive ground and the MFT is an all-rounder, the RC4 is specifically designed to handle higher concentrations of rock and harder shale that would stall a standard auger. Note: The RC augers on small excavators may not penetrate clay.

Can I use this auger for solid rock? While the RC4 is excellent for fracturable rock, shale, and asphalt, if you are drilling into solid, high-PSI blue metal or non-fracturable rock for extended periods, we recommend moving to a dedicated rock auger (DR range).

Which drive hub do I need for my machine? This depends on your specific drive unit. We offer the RC4 range in 65mm Round, 50.8mm Round, 50.8mm Hex, and 57mm Square hubs. Always check the output shaft of your drive motor before ordering to ensure a perfect fit.

Are the teeth replaceable? Yes. The teeth utilise the Taperloc system, allowing for fast, easy replacement in the field so you can keep your project moving without significant downtime. Specialised tooth removal tools are also available for purchase.
