FLEX HONE BC6M18 Cylinder Hone, 0.236" (6mm) Bore, 180 Grit Silicon Carbide (SC), 8" OAL

• Brush Research BC6M18 is a Flex Hone for bore finishing and deburring in small diameter cylinders. It is sized for a 6 mm bore (0.236" maximum) and uses 180 grit silicon carbide abrasive globules on a twisted wire stem to improve surface finish and edge break in mild steel, stainless steel, and cast iron.
• Features:
  • Bore size: for bores from 0.218" to 0.236" (6 mm maximum) to match the intended cylinder diameter range.
  • 180 grit silicon carbide abrasive supports deburring and surface finishing on mild steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and other softer ferrous materials.
  • 1-1/2" abrasive length provides controlled contact for consistent bore finishing in short engagement areas.
  • Twisted wire stem design supports use in a drill or drill press for practical shop and service operations.
  • Maximum speed rating of 1200 RPM supports controlled honing within the specified operating range.
  • Application specific finishing tool for bore preparation and surface refinement, not a replacement part for another SKU.
