Flex-Hone Tool-BC17824 Brush Research Cylinder Hone, BC Series, Silicon Carbide Abrasive, 1-7/8″ (48 mm) Diameter, 240 Grit Size 1-7/8″

Flex-Hone Tool-BC17824 Brush Research Cylinder Hone, BC Series, Silicon Carbide Abrasive, 1-7/8″ (48 mm) Diameter, 240 Grit Size

The Flex-Hone® tool was originally created by Brush Research Manufacturing todeglaze cylinder walls in automotive applications. Brush Research embraced thebenefits of a plateau finish and pioneered the concept of plateau honingculminating in the introduction of the Flex-Hone tool in 1972. The Flex-Honehas gained many nicknames over the years and including ball hone, ball stylehone, flexihone, dingleberry hone, bead brush, glaze breaker and glaze buster.Flexible honing with the Flex-Hone tool produces an oil holding cross hatchpattern and a true plateau finish free of cut, torn and folded metal. Any typeor size of cylinder can benefit from the Flex-Hone®. These abrasive bead stylebrushes are produced in standard diameters from 4mm to 36 inches. Nineabrasive types are offered including silicon carbide, aluminum oxide, boroncarbide and diamond allowing the tool to be tailored to finish any basematerial. A choice of 11 different grit selections are available for precisecontrol of finish parameters. The elimination of peaks results in rapid ringseating, better oil control, reduced seepage in hydraulic and pneumaticapplications and provides better seal performance and longer seal life.Successful applications include firearm chambers, shotgun barrels, musicalinstruments, combustion chambers, air compressors, pumps, valve bodies, valveguides, brake cylinders, wheel cylinders and the list goes on and on. Flex-Hone® tools are also very effective for deburring cross drilled holes, portradiusing and edge blending. Because of its unique construction, the Flex-Honeis self-centering, self-aligning, and self-compensating for wear so it doesnot require an elaborate set-up or special training. Deburring can beeffectively automated and combined in the machining process to allow acomplete cylinder finish in one operation or it can be employed as a secondaryoperation with equal results.
