1 240AO FLEX HONE - Brush Research

The Brush Research BC100240AO 1 240AO FLEX HONE is a professional-grade flexible cylinder hone designed for precision surface finishing and deburring in a variety of automotive and industrial applications. This 1-inch diameter tool, featuring 240 grit aluminum oxide abrasive, is engineered to produce a consistent, oil-retaining plateau finish crucial for optimal component performance and longevity.

Key Features

• Advanced Abrasive Material: Utilizes 240 grit aluminum oxide abrasive, ideal for achieving a refined surface finish on aluminum, brass, bronze, and other softer non-ferrous metals. It is also recommended for deglazing Nikasil and chrome-coated cylinders.
• Self-Centering Design: The FLEX HONE is intentionally manufactured oversized and designed to be self-centering, self-aligning, and self-compensating for wear, ensuring consistent bore coverage and ease of use.
• Optimal Plateau Finish: Creates a true plateau finish, free of cut, torn, and folded metal, while generating an optimal cross-hatch pattern for superior oil retention and proper ring seating.
• Versatile Compatibility: Can be operated effectively in virtually any rotating spindle, from a hand drill to a drill press or CNC equipment.
• Professional Durability: Proudly made in the USA by Brush Research Manufacturing, the inventors of the FLEX-HONE tool, ensuring quality and consistency for demanding professional use.

Applications

The 1 240AO FLEX HONE is indispensable for professional technicians and mechanics working on diverse bore finishing tasks. Common applications include deglazing and finishing cylinder walls in automotive engines, rebuilding hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, and preparing brake cylinders, wheel cylinders, valve guides, pumps, and compressors. It excels at simultaneously finishing and deburring cross-holes within a single setup, improving component integrity.
