34mm Cast Iron 8 Taper Button Bit is a specific type of drill bit used primarily in rock drilling operations, particularly for tasks like mining, tunneling, and construction.

36mm Cast Iron 8 Taper Button Bits are specialized tools used in the mining, construction, and drilling industries. Let’s break down their key components and purpose in more detail:

• Cast Iron: The bit itself is made from cast iron, which is strong, durable, and can withstand high wear and tear. Cast iron is often chosen for its rigidity and ability to resist heat during heavy-duty drilling operations. However, cast iron might be used in conjunction with other materials (like tungsten carbide) for the buttons themselves.

• 8 Taper: This refers to the taper or angle of the bit. An "8 taper" means that the bit has an 8-degree conical shape, which is often used to fit certain types of drill rods or machines. The taper helps ensure a proper fit when the bit is attached to the drilling system. The taper angle can influence the bit's stability and performance during drilling.

• Button Bits: These are the hard metal "buttons" (usually made from tungsten carbide) embedded in the drill bit. These buttons are designed to provide high impact resistance, durability, and wear resistance, which allows them to drill through tough rock formations like granite or basalt. The buttons help break up the rock as the bit rotates.
