I don't really have any specific ideas for this, but I've always felt the borer needed to provided some sort of feedback on its torque requirements.
As a simplest solution, I wonder if it would be sensible if the borer had a gui or mouseover tooltip that indicated the amount of torque being used to cut each slice.
That number would be all over the map since the borer proceeds quickly, but would visually provide an "average torque per slice" to the user, as well as give the user an idea of why its stuck since you'd hear the grinding noise and see a "2048 torque" flashing while it goes nowhere.
