BUTTON BIT MAINTENANCE GENERAL Numa button bits are designed for fast penetration and long life. Keeping the carbide buttons sharp has a direct effect on both the penetration and the tool life. As the bit wears flat, spots develop on the carbide buttons. These flat spots increase stress on the buttons causing the bit to work harder, which may cause button failure.
