Button Bits Comparison
| Button Bit Type | Best For Rock Type | Primary Advantage | Common Uses |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flat Face Button Bits | Hard & abrasive rock | Stable drilling and wear resistance | Mining, quarrying, tunneling |
| Convex Button Bits | Medium-hard rock | Balanced penetration and longevity | Blast holes, foundation drilling |
| Ballistic Button Bits | Medium to soft rock | Faster penetration rates | Construction drilling, geotech holes |
| Retrac Button Bits | Broken or fractured formations | Easier retraction, reduced sticking | Complex drilling environments |
Button bits feature tungsten carbide buttons engineered for high durability and efficient rock fragmentation, making them ideal for demanding drilling conditions across mining, construction, and geotechnical applications.

How to Select Button Bits
Choose based on **formation hardness and drilling method**:
- Flat Face — best for hard, abrasive rock formations with long bit life.
- Convex — balanced choice for mixed formations with efficient penetration.
- Ballistic — faster drilling in softer to medium-hard rock where speed is key.
- Retrac — ideal where stick-back and retraction issues occur in broken ground.
