Key Features

• Flexible, Self-Centering Design: The abrasive globules feature independent suspension, ensuring the Flex-Hone is self-centering, self-aligning to the bore, and self-compensating for wear.
• Premium Silicon Carbide Abrasive: Engineered with durable silicon carbide abrasive, this tool efficiently surface finishes and deburrs various materials, including cast iron, mild steel, and stainless steel.
• Plateau Finishing Technology: Creates a non-directional, oil-holding cross-hatch pattern and a true plateau finish, free of cut, torn, and folded metal.
• Controlled Abrading Action: Utilizes a low-pressure, low-temperature abrading process to effectively remove glaze and microscopic imperfections without removing significant material.
• Versatile Tool Compatibility: Designed for use with common power tools such as handheld electric drills, drill presses, or CNC equipment, requiring no elaborate setups or specialized training.

Applications

• Brake System Maintenance: Ideal for honing and deglazing internal surfaces of automotive brake cylinders, including master cylinders and wheel cylinders.
• General Cylinder Surface Finishing: Suitable for improving the internal surface finish and deburring cross-drilled holes in various small-diameter cylinders.
• Hydraulic and Pneumatic Systems: Applicable for precise surface finishing within hydraulic ram cylinders, hydraulic valve bodies, and pneumatic cylinders.
• Automotive and Mechanical Repair: Essential for routine maintenance and rebuilding tasks requiring a refined cylinder bore finish.

Benefits

• Enhances Braking Performance: Delivers a smooth, uniform cylinder bore finish, which is crucial for optimal brake operation and overall vehicle safety.
• Extends Seal Life: Promotes superior oil retention and proper seating of new seals, significantly reducing the likelihood of leaks and prolonging component service life.
• Minimizes Friction and Wear: The unique plateau finish created by the tool reduces friction between moving parts, leading to less wear over time.
• Achieves Optimal Surface Preparation: Prepares cylinder walls with the ideal surface finish for new seals, preventing glazing and ensuring consistent sealing.
• Removes Glaze and Deposits: Effectively eliminates heat glaze, rust, and other carbon deposits, restoring the cylinder to a prime condition.
• Facilitates Cost-Effective Repair: Provides a reliable and straightforward method for cylinder restoration, often saving the expense and time associated with more extensive re-machining.
