I posted the first post in this thread. We were pretty careful about placement of the holes using the 9 inch auger, but while putting in the 4x6 and laminated 4.5x6 posts we found ourselves hand carving off the sides and/or fronts for proper placement. With that in mind, if I had it to do again, I think I'd get the 12 inch auger. I'm not sure if that would be more likely to shear bolts though.
