📘 Overview
Auger teeth replacement on a T-post auger means one part: the Star Industries 160A-P10, the 2 inch replaceable carbide cutting head for the 160A-TP2 T-post auger. It is the part that does the cutting and the part that wears, which is why Star makes it a separate item — when the carbide dulls, the head is replaced and the auger shaft carries on. The carbide is what lets the T-post auger cut frozen ground, fractured rock, solid rock and concrete rather than glazing over the way a steel dirt tooth would.

- Replaces on the existing auger shaft — no new auger needed
- Genuine Star Industries replacement part
- A carbide cutting head and auger pilot stocked as a wear part rather than an assembly
- 1-year warranty on auger accessories, made in the USA since 1981
- Auger replacement parts and auger wear parts stocked individually, not as an assembly
- A replacement auger head and carbide auger head sized to the 160A-TP2
🔑 Why Buyers Choose the Star Industries 160A-P10 Carbide Cutting Head
- The head wears, the shaft does not — a T-post auger shaft in solid stress proof steel outlasts many cutting heads. Stocking the head as a separate part is what keeps the running cost of a fencing crew sensible.
- Carbide is why the auger cuts rock at all — a steel tooth glazes in the first few feet of frost or slab. Carbide chips the material away instead of rubbing against it.
- Changing the head takes minutes, not a trip to the supplier — keeping one on the truck means a dulled auger does not end the day on a fencing job.
- It is a genuine Star part sized to the 160A-TP2 — the 2 inch diameter matches the auger exactly, so the pilot hole stays the size the T-post needs.

🔗 What This Cutting Head Fits
The 160A-P10 is the cutting head for the Star Industries 160A-TP2 T-post auger, a 2 inch bit on a 1 5/8 inch by 38 inch solid stress proof shaft with a 30 inch drilling depth. It is not interchangeable with the wear parts for the other Star auger ranges: the HDSF single flight dirt augers use Drive-In teeth 160A-T04 and 160A-T09 with the 160A-SB45 bolt-on pilot, and the 160A-R rock augers use carbide bullet tooth 160A-T10 with the 160A-BT500S bolt-on bullet tooth pilot.
🚜 Which Auger Does This Auger Teeth Replacement Head Fit?
This head fits the Star Industries 160A-TP2 T-post auger only. That auger runs on the standard 2 inch hex drive connection shared across the Star 160A bit range, so it works with Star 160D auger drives and other makes using the same output. If you are looking for wear parts for a different Star auger, the dirt and rock ranges each use their own teeth and pilots, listed above.
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| Fits auger | Star Industries 160A-TP2 T-post auger |
| Head diameter | 2 in — matches the auger pilot hole size |
| Not for | HDSF dirt augers or 160A-R rock augers, which use their own teeth and pilots |
| Hydraulics | None — this is a mechanical wear part |
❓ Star Industries 160A-P10 Carbide Cutting Head Questions, Answered
What does the 160A-P10 carbide cutting head fit?
It is the 2 inch replaceable cutting head for the Star Industries 160A-TP2 T-post auger. It does not fit the HDSF dirt augers or the 160A-R rock augers, which use their own teeth and pilots.
When should I replace the cutting head?
When the carbide dulls and the auger stops entering the ground at its usual rate, or when progress in hard material noticeably slows. Replacing the head restores cutting performance without replacing the auger shaft, which is far more durable.
Why carbide rather than steel?
Carbide chips hard material away rather than rubbing against it. A steel tooth glazes over within the first few feet of frozen ground, rock or concrete and stops cutting. Carbide is what makes the T-post auger usable in those conditions.
Is this a genuine Star Industries part?
Yes, the 160A-P10 is the Star Industries replacement cutting head for the 160A-TP2, sized at 2 inches to match the auger so the pilot hole stays the correct size for a T-post.
Should I keep a spare on the truck?
On a fencing crew drilling many holes a day it is worth it. Changing the head takes minutes; sourcing one mid-job does not. A dulled head otherwise ends the day.
What are the wear parts for the other Star augers?
The HDSF single flight dirt augers use Drive-In flat tooth 160A-T04 and gauge tooth 160A-T09, with hard-faced versions available, plus the 160A-SB45 bolt-on pilot. The 160A-R rock augers use carbide bullet tooth 160A-T10 and the 160A-BT500S bolt-on bullet tooth pilot.
