    Flexible Cylinder Hones for Steel and Stainless Steel

    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—Grit is identified by the color on the hone tip.

    Honing Stones

    The flexible shank on these hones gives you access to hard-to-reach spots. A knurled adjustment knob lets you adjust the pressure applied to the side of the cylinder to achieve your desired finish. The square end can hone to the bottom of step-cut and closed-end holes. Use on portable drills. We recommend using them with honing oil to keep the abrasive surface clean.

    Flexible Cylinder Hones for Soft Metals

    Twisted Shank

    Prevent clogs when honing soft metals, such as aluminum. These hones have aluminum-oxide abrasive balls that resist buildup. Mounted on flexible spindles, the balls press against the inside of cylinders. They remove material and leave a cross-hatch patterned finish to retain lubricant. Hones are slightly oversized for maximum contact with surfaces. 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 or removed from cylinders. We recommend using them with honing oil to help clear debris from the abrasive.

    Flexible Cylinder Hones for Hard Metals

    Image of Product. Twisted Shank. Front orientation. Cylinder Hones. Flexible Cylinder Hones for Hard Metals, For Hardened Steel, For Iron, For Nickel, For Titanium, Twisted Shank.

    Twisted Shank

    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—Abrasive material is identified by the color on the stem.
    Grit—Grit is identified by the color on the hone tip.

    Rigid Cylinder Hones

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Cylinder Hones. Rigid Cylinder Hones.
    Fix misshaped cylinder walls, including those that are out-of-round or tapered. These hones have rigid abrasive stones that remove small amounts of material. They’re adjustable, so you can size them to your cylinder in micrometer increments. Clip two stones and two felt cleaning wipers onto the holders. Then, turn the knob to expand until the stones press against the cylinder. Use with portable drills, moving the hone up and down to leave a cross-hatch pattern that retains lubricant. We recommend using these with honing oil to keep the abrasive free of debris.
