Features / Benefits
- SURFACE FINISHING - The Flex-Hone Tool is available in a variety of abrasive types and grit selections to provide the optimum surface finish on any base material
- The Flex-Hone is commonly used to reduce Ra, Rk and Rpk values while maintaining Rvk and Vo volume for oil retention
- Using the Flex-Hone Tool for surface finishing allows the sizing tools to do their jobs quickly and accurately without fighting surface finish
- The Flex-Hone is also used in adhesive bonding applications where a rougher surface is desired for bonding integrity
- DEBURRING - Debarring of cross drilled holes is an expensive, time consuming operation. The Flex-Hone Tool can be used to remove burrs from cross drilled holes leaving a clean, radiused intersection
- Because of its unique construction, the Flex-Hone can be used online in machine tool applications or offline as a secondary operation
- The tool is self-cantering and self-aligning to the bore so elaborate, rigid set-ups are not required
- It is advisable to use the tool in the main bore into which the cross holes break
- Best results are obtained by rotating and stroking the tool a few strokes in a clockwise direction, removing the tool from the part, reversing the spindle and then rotating and stroking the tool in a counter clockwise direction for a few more strokes
- This forward and reverse rotation creates a more symmetrical debarring pattern
- PLATEAU FINISHING - Brush Research pioneered the concept of a plateau finish and is a strong proponent of the benefits of a cross hatch, plateaued finish
- The concept involves removing the peaks produced by prior machining operations and creating a substantially flat or plateau finish
- A plateau finish created by the elimination of peaks allows rings and seals to seat without damaging their edges
- The cross hatch pattern will aid in lubrication control and retention, reduce seepage in hydraulic and pneumatic applications and promote longer seal life

This is a quality product I used it as soon as I got it. I did a cylinder home job on a Yanmar diesel engine and it worked out perfectly. That would recommend these homes to anyone. Very well made, reasonably priced.

I have to say I love these hones, I had to do an emergency ring replacement on a race engine before an event and there was no way to get the block to the machine shop. I ordered this hone and man it worked great. The finish it left was perfect. I checked cylinder leakage after install but before running and every cylinder was below 10 I had to fire the engine up throw the car in the trailer and make a 1000mile drive to the track. We'll the car ran perfect used no oil needles to say I'm very happy with this hone. Will buy more of these for tricky situations!!!

Works awesome, followed directions on the box and was very easy to use. lowest speed on the dewalt fast in and out motion with a quicker pace for the last 3 seconds or so got that nice 45 deg cross hatch pattern. One ball was missing from its wire so I cut that wire off as to avoid any scoring of my cylinder walls.

Technique for a ball hone is easily found online but it would have been reassuring to have the instructions directly from manufacturer.It worked as I expected and should last a long time.
