There are several possible reasons for a chip auger to become bent:

1.   Excessive force or impact: If a chip auger is subjected to excessive force or a heavy impact, it can result in bending.

• Improper operation during transportation, Wrong hanging operation.
• Accidents in the workplace.( tools falling into chip trays)
• Excessive accumulation of chips.

2.   Wear and tear: Over time, continuous usage of the chip auger can cause it to undergo wear and tear. This can gradually weaken the structure of the auger, leading to bending or deformation.

3.   Incorrect installation: Improper installation of the chip auger can also contribute to bending. If the auger is not aligned correctly or secured properly, it may experience stress or strain that can result in bending.
