Honing Tools for Flexible Honing with Excellent Finish. Honing tools from Flex-Hone offer you long-wearing internal surfaces of various cylindrical structures. The medium-grade honing tool is equipped with 120 to 320 grit silicon carbide abrasive. You can choose from various types as per your requirements such as pneumatic brake cylinders, disc brakes, standard duty block cylinders, and heavy-duty block cylinders. The tools are flexible as they are composed of high-density nylon filaments thoroughly laminated with the abrasive. They are highly resilient and reliable to achieve fine results as they are capable of removing cut, broken, or folded metal from the surfaces and expose the smooth and flawless metal surface. When you select the honing tool from this range for your application, the tool diameter should be chosen as per the nominal ball size of your workpiece. The honing tool works best in an oversized condition, which produces a soft cutting action. The Flex-Hone honing tool can securely be fixed on a collet, chuck, or a similar holding device. You can easily tuck it into a standard 3/8 or 1/2 inch drill motor, lathe, milling machine, drill press, or any other rotating spindle. For greater finishes, you need to use high-quality honing fluids, such as water-soluble fluids, mineral oils, motor oils, cutting and tapping fluids, etc. For microfine finishes and the longest tool life, it is better to use Flex-Hone hone oil. Before entering the workpiece and until fully removed from it, the tool must keep rotating. The spindle speed range is between 60 and 1200 RPM, and to achieve symmetrical deburring on cross holes, you can give an accelerated final stroke to develop a 45° crosshatch. Also, the average honing time of the tool is 10 to 45 seconds, and within that time, you get perfect surfaces.
