The last time we unloaded the Prust bean bin we weren't happy with how it worked, so we decided to pull the unloading auger out and check it before using it. The screw wasn't totally worn out, but it was worn enough it wouldn't handle the volume it should.
An opportunity to use new toys! We got a new screw from Dale Crumrin and used my new SawZall to cut the shaft and take the head off. When we got it apart we found the tube was getting pretty thin,
so we repaired it. Aman cut the old ring off, 
used the plasma cutter to cut a new piece, welded it in with the wire welder, cut a new opening with the plasma cutter,
and it was as good as new
