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.
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. Grit availability varies by abrasive.

Flexible Precision-Finish Cylinder Hones
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.

Smoothing and Polishing Stones for Aluminum and Soft Metals
The abrasive is specially treated for use on aluminum, brass, bronze, and other soft metal molds and dies. These stones can be used by hand or in power tools with a compatible holder. We recommend using a water-soluble or oil-based lubricant.
