Flexible Cylinder Hones for Hard Metals

Twisted Shank

A hard abrasive removes material from metals such as hardened steel, titanium, and iron. 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.

Diamond Abrasive—Our hardest, longest-lasting abrasive will hone any material, even ceramic and carbide.

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.

Polishing Stones for Gauge Blocks

Remove rust, burrs, and other flaws that keep your gauge blocks from wringing together. Made from aluminum oxide, these stones gently abrade surfaces to create a smooth finish. They’re also known as India stones. Since they remove material slowly, you can repair blocks without altering their size, flatness, or precision. Before use, clean and lubricate these stones with kerosene.

Sanding Bricks for Masonry, Ceramics, and Composites

Aggressively remove material from hard, non-metallic surfaces such as ceramics, brick, stone, concrete, glass, and composites like carbon fiber and fiberglass. Harder than aluminum oxide, silicon carbide cuts effectively on brittle and abrasive materials where softer abrasives wear down quickly. The coarse 24 grit cuts fast for rough shaping, stock removal, and surface preparation.

Electrical Contact Files

Clean contacts on electrical components such as spark plugs, switches, relays, and ignition points.

Files with Tungsten-Coated Teeth


	Double-Cut Face

Files with tungsten-coated teeth are best for hard materials commonly found on ignition points and high-amperage electrical contacts, such as tungsten and iridium. They are double cut—two sets of diagonal teeth remove material rapidly.

Files with Diamond Abrasive Grit

Files with diamond abrasive grit clean contacts with a minimal amount of pressure. The sharpest and hardest abrasive we offer, diamond smooths any material. It’s especially good for delicate tasks where you need to remove very little material at a time.
