Flex-Hone BC55M32 Honing Tool

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.Self-centering, self-aligning to the bore and self-compensating for wearBenefitsYou can effortlessly smoothen the broken or deformed inner surfaces of metallic tube structures with the help of the honing tools offered by Flex-Hone.The tools are the most reliable and long-lasting as they come with silicon carbide abrasive.Thickly placed nylon filaments laminated with the abrasive are highly flexible to provide you with the best possible results.Along with the use of high-quality honing fluids, these tools can come up with ultrafine surface finishes.ApplicationsYou can go for Flex-Hone honing tools for achieving flawless and long-lasting inner surfaces of cylindrical objects used in various workplaces.They can effectively be used on air compressors, hydraulic ram cylinders, hydraulic valve bodies, valve guides and motor bodies, pneumatic cylinders, brake cylinders, brake rotors, engine cylinders, block liners, etc.These honing tools also provide greater surface finishing on boiler components and stainless steel tubing.FeaturesFlex-Hone honing tools are medium-grade flexible tools used with a 120-320 grit silicon carbide abrasive.They are created with high-density nylon filaments with an abrasive coating.These honing tools can comfortably be fixed on a 3/8 inch or 1/2 inch chuck, collet, or any other holding spindle.The spindle speed range is estimated to be 60-1200 RPM, and the specified average honing time is between 10 and 45 seconds.NotesOther available abrasives include: Aluminum Oxide, Boron Carbide, Tungsten Carbide, Zirconia Alumina, and Levigated Alumina
