For drilling contractors and tool distributors, buying taper button bits is rarely as simple as picking a size off a shelf. The hole diameter, the taper angle on your drill rods, the hardness of the rock you cut through, and even the brand you sell under all influence which bit is the right one. That is why many buyers look for a supplier where
taper button bit OEM is available — a factory that can build bits to your exact specification instead of asking you to adapt to a standard catalog. If that is what you need, here is what OEM taper button bits involve, what you can customize, and how to get the process started with a manufacturer that has served customers around the world.
What Is a Taper Button Bit?
A taper button bit is a percussive
rock drilling tool used for small-diameter holes in mining, quarrying, and tunnel work. Unlike
thread button bit systems that screw onto extension rods, a taper button bit locks onto the drill rod through a tapered friction fit, usually at 6, 7, 11, or 12 degrees. Tungsten carbide buttons pressed into a forged steel body transfer the hammer's impact energy into the rock, cracking it with every blow. Because the connection is simple and the bit is lightweight, taper button bits are the standard companion for hand-held pneumatic drills and air-leg drills such as Y24, Y26, and YT28 models.
Why OEM Matters for Taper Button Bits
Standard taper button bits cover the most common drilling jobs, but they are a compromise. A quarry working in hard granite, a mine drilling in abrasive ore, and a tunneling crew cutting through mixed ground all need slightly different bits. OEM manufacturing removes that compromise:
- Diameter. Standard ranges run from 30mm to 45mm, but your blast pattern or bolt size may call for a specific size in between.
- Taper degree. The bit must match the taper on your drill rods exactly — a 7-degree bit forced onto an 11-degree rod is unsafe and damages both parts.
- Button layout. Fewer, larger buttons penetrate hard rock faster; more, smaller buttons last longer in abrasive ground.
- Face design. ｄｒｏｐ center faces flush better in soft to medium rock; flat faces carry more buttons for durability in hard formations.
- Branding. Distributors often want their own logo on the bit and their own packaging, so end customers buy from them, not from the factory.

How the OEM Process Works
Working with a taper button bit OEM supplier usually follows the same straightforward path:
1. Send your requirements. Tell the factory the hole diameter, taper degree, button count, face type, and the rock you drill most often. If you have a drawing or a sample, even better.
2. Confirm a sample. A reliable manufacturer will make a sample first so you can test penetration rate and fit before committing to a full order.
3. Production. Once the sample is approved, the factory forges the steel bodies, presses in the carbide buttons, and heat-treats every bit.
4. Quality control. Each batch is checked for hardness, dimensional accuracy, and button retention before packing.
5. Shipping. Your order is packed for export and shipped under the Incoterm you prefer.
What to Prepare Before You Ask for a Quote
The faster you can answer these questions, the faster the factory can quote and produce:
- Hole diameter and drilling depth
- Taper degree of your drill rods (6°, 7°, 11°, or 12°)
- Rock type and hardness
- Drill model (for example YT24, YT27, YT28)
- Quantity and target price
- Branding and packaging requirements
