Brush Research BC23418 Flex-Hone BC Flexible Cylinder Hone, for 2.626" - 2.75" Bores, 180 Grit, Silicon Carbide

Brush Research BC23418 Flex-Hone BC Flexible Cylinder Hone, for 2.626" - 2.75" Bores, 180 Grit, Silicon Carbide

• Brush Research BC23418 is a Flex-Hone BC flexible cylinder hone designed for surface finishing and deburring in bores from 2.626 to 2.75 inches. It uses 180 grit silicon carbide abrasive globules, with a 3 inch abrasive length and 8 inches overall length for consistent bore contact in a rotating spindle.
• Features:
  • 180 grit silicon carbide abrasive globules support simultaneous surface finishing and deburring in a single setup.
  • Designed for bore sizes from 2.626 to 2.75 inches to match 2.75 inches (69.9 mm) nominal cylinder and bore applications.
  • Self-centering, self-aligning, and self-compensating for wear design helps maintain uniform bore contact.
  • 3 inch abrasive length with 8 inches overall length helps reach through typical cylinder bores while maintaining stable tool engagement.
  • Recommended 600-900 RPM operation with lubrication required supports controlled cutting on mild steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and other softer ferrous materials.
