Our engineering philosophy is simple: maximize hole meters with minimal maintenance. Every threaded button bit is engineered for long-hole drilling where reliability, consistent performance, and cost-per-meter are paramount.
High-density tungsten carbide buttons with optimized thread engagement. Delivers consistent cutting action and extended service life across diverse rock formations.
7 series (R32, T35, T38, T45, T51, ST58, ST68) with varied button count and sizing. Select the optimal configuration for your specific rock type and drilling depth.
Standard, Retrac (retracting bits), Reaming, Heavy Duty, and Collaring designs. Each variant engineered for specific drilling phases and formation challenges.
Precision blade angle engineering (30°-40°) balances penetration rate with bit stability and hole straightness throughout extended drilling operations.
Forged from premium alloy steel with precise heat treatment. Withstands millions of impact cycles while maintaining gauge and bore accuracy.
OEM-quality construction at competitive Chinese factory pricing. Lower cost per meter drilled without compromising reliability or hole quality.
Every threaded button bit features premium-grade tungsten carbide buttons selected for hardness, toughness, and thread strength. The threaded design ensures secure engagement with the body during extended drilling, preventing button loss and maintaining predictable performance. Button sizing is carefully optimized for each series to balance aggressive rock destruction with controlled wear rates. Result: extended hole life, fewer bit changes, and significantly lower consumable costs per meter.
MSD offers 7 comprehensive series spanning 44mm (R32) to 152mm+ (ST68) body diameters. Each series—R32, T35, T38, T45, T51, ST58, ST68—is engineered with specific button counts and configurations optimized for particular drilling depths and rock conditions. This extensive range ensures you can select the ideal bit for your specific application rather than compromising with a one-size-fits-all design. Proper series selection directly translates to faster drilling and extended bit life.
Beyond standard drilling bits, MSD offers retractable (Retrac) bits for deep holes where bit withdrawal is critical, reaming bits for hole enlargement and straightness correction, heavy-duty (HD) variants for extreme rock conditions, and specialized collaring bits for hole initiation. Each variant is engineered with optimal button configuration and blade geometry for its specific function. This specialization means every drilling phase—from collar to full depth—benefits from purpose-built tool design.
Blade angle is critical to drilling performance. MSD's threaded button bits feature optimized angles ranging from 30° to 40°, precisely engineered for each series and variant. Shallow angles (30°) prioritize hole straightness and stability in longer holes; steeper angles (35-40°) enhance penetration rate in variable formations. This precision engineering ensures optimal balance between drilling speed, hole quality, and bit stability—critical factors for successful deep-hole operations where deviation and collapse risk increase with depth.
The bit body is forged from premium alloy steel and undergoes multi-stage heat treatment to achieve optimal hardness (55-60 HRC range) and toughness. This metallurgical foundation enables the body to withstand millions of hammer impacts while maintaining precise gauge and bore dimensions. Internal stress relief treatments prevent fatigue cracking. The result: a bit body that maintains structural integrity and dimensional accuracy throughout its service life, even in extended deep-hole operations.
MSD delivers OEM-quality threaded button bits at competitive Chinese factory pricing. By optimizing our manufacturing process and supply chain while maintaining strict quality standards, we achieve cost-per-meter economics that rival expensive European brands. For deep-hole drilling contractors managing multiple projects, this cost advantage is substantial without sacrificing the reliability and performance required for successful drilling operations.

CASE STUDIES
A threaded button bit, also known as a long-hole drilling bit or deep-hole percussion bit, is a precision-engineered cutting tool designed specifically for long-hole drilling in underground mining and geotechnical applications. These specialized bits feature tungsten carbide buttons threaded into the bit body, providing superior durability and consistent performance during extended drilling operations. As a leading manufacturer in China with over two decades of expertise, MSD has perfected the design and production of these critical tools. Our expertise ensures every threaded button bit we produce delivers superior penetration rates, extended service life, and exceptional reliability across diverse rock formations and drilling depths.
The performance of any threaded button bit depends on the synergy between three critical elements. Premium tungsten carbide buttons are the cutting edge—threaded securely into the bit body to prevent loss during extended drilling. Their size, count, and placement determine drilling speed, hole quality, and service life. Blade geometry—specifically the angle and profile of the cutting surface—is engineered to balance penetration rate with hole straightness and bit stability, critical factors in deep holes where deviation risk increases with depth. High-strength alloy steel forms the bit body, carefully hardened to absorb millions of hammer impacts while maintaining precise gauge and bore accuracy. Together, these elements create a drilling bit that reliably transmits hammer energy into rock destruction, maintains hole quality, and survives extended deep-hole operations.
Selecting the correct threaded button bit series and configuration is essential to drilling success and cost optimization. MSD offers 7 comprehensive series—R32, T35, T38, T45, T51, ST58, and ST68—spanning from compact 44mm diameter bits for exploration drilling through massive 152mm+ bits for large-scale production. Each series is engineered with specific button counts and configurations optimized for particular drilling depths, rock hardness, and rig power. Beyond standard bits, we offer specialized variants: Retrac (retracting) bits for secure extraction from deep holes, Reaming bits for hole enlargement and deviation correction, Heavy Duty (HD) bits for extreme rock conditions, and Collaring bits optimized for hole initiation. Blade angles range from 30° to 40°, precisely optimized for each series—shallow angles prioritize hole straightness and stability in extended holes; steeper angles enhance penetration rate in variable formations. Proper series and variant selection directly impacts drilling economics by reducing bit changes, minimizing hole deviations, and optimizing cost per meter.
Beyond manufacturing, we provide complete deep-hole drilling solutions. Our engineers analyze your specific drilling objectives—formation geology, hole depth, straightness requirements, and production schedules—to recommend the ideal bit series, variant, button configuration, and blade angle for your application. By optimizing the entire drilling system, we help you achieve the lowest possible cost per meter while maintaining hole quality and preventing expensive deviations. With a massive inventory spanning all 7 series and multiple variants, combined with agile production capability, we ensure your project stays on schedule without delays. MSD delivers OEM-quality threaded button bits at competitive Chinese factory pricing, backed by technical support and proven reliability across 50+ countries. Trust MSD for drilling bits and expert partnership that maximize your deep-hole drilling profitability and project success.
