    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.

    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.
    Boron Carbide Abrasive—Harder than standard abrasives such as silicon carbide and aluminum oxide, boron carbide will hone hardened steel, titanium, and iron. It's not as hard as diamond, however, so it can't hone carbide or ceramic.
    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.

    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.

    Rigid Cylinder Hones for Machine Tools

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Cylinder Hones. Rigid Cylinder Hones for Machine Tools.
    Turn your drill press, lathe, mill, or CNC machine into a precision honing system. These hones finish cylinder diameters as small as 3/16" to within a 0.001" tolerance. They correct out-of-round holes, slots, keyways for shafts, bushings, and dowel pins. To retain lubricants, they leave a cross-hatch pattern on cylinder walls. Install the hone’s driver in your spindle and guide or program your machine to move the hone up and down to create the pattern.
    Honing Kits
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Cylinder Hones. Rigid Cylinder Hones for Machine Tools, Honing Kits.
    Each kit contains a mandrel, two honing stones, and a truing sleeve. The mandrel holds the honing stones and snaps into a driver with a quick twist. Since the mandrel doesn’t touch the work surface, it won’t wear out and need replacing. The truing sleeve conditions the honing stones so they’re perfectly cylindrical and concentric to the mandrel.
