FLEX HONE GBD40012 Heavy Duty Cylinder Hone, 4" Bore, 120 Grit, Silicon Carbide

FLEX HONE GBD40012 Heavy Duty Cylinder Hone, 4" Bore, 120 Grit, Silicon Carbide

• The FLEX HONE GBD40012 is a heavy duty cylinder hone designed for bore sizes between 3.751" and 4", used for surface finishing, deburring, and edge breaking in mild steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and other softer ferrous materials. It uses 120 grit silicon carbide abrasive globules on flexible nylon filaments and measures 4" in diameter by 13.5" in overall length.
• Features:
  • 120 grit silicon carbide abrasive globules for controlled material removal.
  • Self-centering, self-aligning, self-compensating-for-wear design produces a non-directional, cross-hatched finish.
  • Flexible nylon filaments allow the abrasive globules to float, helping maintain bore alignment.
  • 6" abrasive section with a 0.31" stem, for use in virtually any rotating spindle.
  • Typically achieves a surface finish of 35-50 microinch (0.9-1.4 micrometer) Ra.
  • Recommended operating speed of 350-600 RPM, with a feed rate of 10-2,500 IPM.
