FLEX HONE GBD41424 Cylinder Hone 4-1/4" Max Bore Diameter, 240 Grit

FLEX HONE GBD41424 Cylinder Hone 4-1/4" Max Bore Diameter, 240 Grit

• Restore optimal performance and extend engine life with the FLEX HONE GBD41424, the go-to choice for restoring worn cylinders in engines up to 4-1/4" in diameter. This heavy-duty honing tool boasts a 240 grit abrasive that effectively removes glaze and imperfections, leaving a smooth, plateau finish that promotes better ring seal and reduces friction. Effortless and efficient operation defines the GBD41424. Its self-centering and self-aligning design eliminates the need for complex setups, saving you time and frustration. The flexible hones conform to the unique shape of the cylinder bore, ensuring consistent results throughout.
• Features
  • SURFACE FINISHING - The Flex-Hone Tool is available in a variety of abrasive types and grit selections to provide the optimum surface finish on any base material
    • The Flex-Hone is commonly used to reduce Ra, Rk and Rpk values while maintaining Rvk and Vo volume for oil retention
    • Using the Flex-Hone Tool for surface finishing allows the sizing tools to do their jobs quickly and accurately without fighting surface finish
    • The Flex-Hone is also used in adhesive bonding applications where a rougher surface is desired for bonding integrity
  • DEBURRING - Debarring of cross drilled holes is an expensive, time consuming operation. The Flex-Hone Tool can be used to remove burrs from cross drilled holes leaving a clean, radiused intersection
    • Because of its unique construction, the Flex-Hone can be used online in machine tool applications or offline as a secondary operation
    • The tool is self-cantering and self-aligning to the bore so elaborate, rigid set-ups are not required
    • It is advisable to use the tool in the main bore into which the cross holes break
    • Best results are obtained by rotating and stroking the tool a few strokes in a clockwise direction, removing the tool from the part, reversing the spindle and then rotating and stroking the tool in a counter clockwise direction for a few more strokes
    • This forward and reverse rotation creates a more symmetrical debarring pattern
  • PLATEAU FINISHING - Brush Research pioneered the concept of a plateau finish and is a strong proponent of the benefits of a cross hatch, plateaued finish
    • The concept involves removing the peaks produced by prior machining operations and creating a substantially flat or plateau finish
    • A plateau finish created by the elimination of peaks allows rings and seals to seat without damaging their edges
    • The cross hatch pattern will aid in lubrication control and retention, reduce seepage in hydraulic and pneumatic applications and promote longer seal life
