By recording cutter wear, gauge condition, body damage and operating data, contractors can compare bit runs and spot repeating problems.<\/p>\n        <p>In short, a used bit should not only tell you that its service life has ended. Instead, it should help you choose and run the next bit better.<\/p>\n    <\/section>\n\n    <!-- CTA -->\n    <section id=\"cta\" class=\"cta-section\">\n        <p style=\"font-size:1.15rem; line-height:1.8; margin-bottom:12px;\">Getting short bit life or unusual wear?
