ADJ TENS GLAZE BREAKER*NLA - Old Forge Tools

The Old Forge Tools 7137 Adjustable Tension Glaze Breaker is a professional-grade cylinder honing tool engineered for automotive and industrial technicians. Designed to efficiently remove glaze and deposits from engine cylinder walls, this tool is essential for proper piston ring seating and optimal engine performance during rebuilds. It attaches to any standard electric drill, providing controlled and consistent pressure for a precise finish.

Key Features

• Adjustable Tension Mechanism: A robust spring tension adjusting nut allows technicians to precisely control the cutting action and pressure of the abrasive stones against the cylinder wall, ensuring consistent results across various applications.
• Optimal Glaze Removal: Effectively breaks down and removes glaze and carbon deposits that accumulate on cylinder walls, which is crucial for achieving the proper cross-hatch pattern necessary for new piston ring seating and superior oil retention.
• Wide Diameter Compatibility: Engineered to accommodate a broad range of cylinder bores, typically from 2 inches up to 7 inches (approximately 51mm to 180mm), making it versatile for various engine types, including automotive, motorcycle, and small engines.
• Durable Stone Construction: Utilizes high-quality, replaceable abrasive stones (often 220-grit) designed for longevity and effective material removal without damaging cylinder surfaces.
• Flexible Drive Shaft: A flexible shaft design allows for easy access and self-alignment within cylinders, ensuring uniform contact and a consistent finish even in challenging configurations.
• Efficient Operation: Compatible with standard electric drills (recommended 400-800 RPM variable speed) for quick and efficient cylinder deglazing and honing, reducing manual effort and saving time in professional workshops.

Applications

This Adjustable Tension Glaze Breaker is a fundamental tool for professionals involved in engine reconditioning, rebuilding, and maintenance. Its primary applications include:

• Engine Rebuilding: Preparing cylinder walls for the installation of new piston rings, ensuring they seat correctly and provide an effective seal.
• Cylinder Deglazing: Removing the smooth, hardened glaze that forms on cylinder walls over time, which can lead to poor oil retention and inefficient ring sealing.
• Surface Preparation: Creating a uniform, cross-hatch pattern on cylinder surfaces to promote proper lubrication and reduce wear on piston rings and cylinder walls.
• Maintenance and Overhaul: Restoring cylinder integrity in a variety of gasoline and diesel engines, from passenger vehicles to light industrial equipment.
