    Flexible Cylinder Hones for Hard Metals

    Twisted Shank

    A hard abrasive removes material from metals such as hardened steel, titanium, iron, and nickel. It also leaves a cross-hatch patterned finish to retain lubricant. These hones have abrasive-embedded balls mounted on flexible spindles that press against the inside of cylinders. Hones are slightly oversized for maximum contact. 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 free of debris.
    Twisted Shank—Snip the shank to shorten the length of your cylinder hone.
    Abrasive Material—Abrasive material is identified by the color on the stem.
    Grit—Grit is identified by the color on the tip, except 120-grit hones are unmarked.

    Honing Stones

    Control the pressure you apply to surfaces with a turn of the adjustment knob to achieve your desired finish. These hones have spring-loaded arms that push the abrasive stones against cylinder walls. Rigid stones repair cylinders that are out-of-round, tapered, or otherwise misshaped. Use with portable drills, moving the hone up and down to leave a cross-hatch pattern that retains lubricant. The shank flexes to reach around curves or into spaces where you can’t keep the drill parallel to the cylinder. We recommend using hones with honing oil to keep the abrasive free of debris.
