The Brush Research BC5/8-320 Brake Cylinder Flex-Hone is a professional-grade abrasive tool engineered for precision finishing and restoration of automotive and industrial brake cylinders. This 5/8 x 8 inch, 320 grit flexible honing tool delivers a superior plateau finish, crucial for optimizing cylinder wall lubrication, reducing friction, and ensuring peak braking performance. Designed for ease of use, it helps professional technicians achieve consistent, high-quality results.

Key Features

• Self-Centering and Self-Aligning: The abrasive globules, each with independent suspension, ensure the Flex-Hone® automatically centers itself and aligns to the bore, simplifying operation and eliminating the need for elaborate setups.
• Soft Cutting Action: Its resilient, flexible design provides a soft cutting action, gently refining the bore surface without aggressive material removal.
• Self-Compensating for Wear: The tool's unique construction allows it to self-compensate for wear, maintaining consistent honing pressure and effectiveness throughout its lifespan.
• Plateau Finish Technology: Creates a high percentage plateau finish free of torn, cut, and folded metal, which is vital for proper piston ring seating and sealing, reduced oil consumption, and extended cylinder life.
• Improved Braking Performance: By producing an ideal surface finish and cross-hatch pattern, the Flex-Hone® optimizes cylinder wall lubrication and helps prevent issues like blow-by, leading to more reliable and efficient braking.
• Durable Construction: Manufactured by Brush Research, a leader in honing technology, ensuring a professional-grade tool built for reliability in demanding shop environments.

Applications
