Multipurpose Flexible Cylinder Hones
Abrasive-embedded balls at the ends of the flexible spindles press against the inside of a cylinder to remove material and leave a smooth, even finish. These hones are slightly oversized to maximize contact with the work surface. When your cylinder ID falls between two sizes, order the larger hone. Use with portable drills, drill presses, and CNC machines. Hones should be rotating when inserted into or removed from cylinders. We recommend using them with honing oil to keep the abrasive surface clean.
Grit is identified by the color on the hone tip.
Also Available: Hones made of boron carbide, alumina zirconia, levigated alumina, ceramic, and cubic boron nitride. Please order 4424A999 and specify abrasive, cylinder ID, and grit.

Flexible Cylinder Hones for Aluminum and Soft Metals
The abrasive won’t clog, especially when used with honing oil. It’s embedded in balls at the ends of flexible spindles that press against the inside of a cylinder to remove material and leave a smooth, even finish. These hones are slightly oversized to maximize contact with the work surface. When your cylinder ID falls between two sizes, order the larger hone. Use with portable drills, drill presses, and CNC machines. Hones should be rotating when inserted into or removed from cylinders. We recommend using them with honing oil to keep the abrasive surface clean.

Flexible Cylinder Hones for
Stainless Steel and Hard Metals
A long-lasting diamond abrasive is embedded in balls at the ends of flexible spindles that press against the inside of a cylinder to remove material and leave a smooth, even finish. These hones are slightly oversized to maximize contact with the work surface. When your cylinder ID falls between two sizes, order the larger hone. Use with portable drills, drill presses, and CNC machines. Hones should be rotating when inserted into or removed from cylinders. We recommend using them with honing oil to keep the abrasive surface clean.
Abrasive material is identified by the color on the stem.
Grit is approximate and identified by the color on the hone tip.
Also Available: Hones made of boron carbide, alumina zirconia, levigated alumina, ceramic, and cubic boron nitride. Please order 4424A999 and specify abrasive, cylinder ID, and grit.
