The Star Industries 160A-P10 is the replacement carbide cutting head for the 160A-TP2 T-Post Auger bit. The carbide pilot is the first wear point on T-post auger bits — replacing just the head extends bit life without purchasing a new complete auger. 2"" diameter. 5-year factory guarantee. USA since 1981.

Q: What auger is this head for?
The 160A-P10 carbide cutting head is the replacement for the 160A-TP2 T-Post Auger bit specifically. Confirm your auger model before ordering — other Star Industries auger bits use different head designs. |
|
Q: How do I install the replacement head?
The carbide pilot is a replaceable bolt-on or press-fit component. Consult the 160A-TP2 operator manual for the specific replacement procedure. Contact Star Industries 1-800-541-1797 for installation guidance. |
|
Q: How often should the carbide head be replaced?
The carbide pilot wears with each hole drilled, more rapidly in hard ground, caliche, or rocky soil. Inspect the pilot before each session — replace when carbide is visibly worn, chipped, or when the auger requires excessive downforce to penetrate. Running a worn pilot damages the boring head. |
|
Q: Is the carbide heat-treated?
Contact Star Industries 1-800-541-1797 for the specific carbide grade and heat treatment used in the 160A-P10. |
|
Q: Can I order the replacement head separately from the full auger?
Yes — the 160A-P10 is sold as a replacement part specifically so users do not need to purchase a complete 160A-TP2 auger bit when only the carbide head is worn. |
