18MM 320AO FLEX HONE - Brush Research

The Brush Research BC18M320AO 18MM 320AO Flex-Hone is engineered for professional technicians requiring a superior surface finish in small diameter bores. This precision abrasive tool is designed to improve bore quality, enhance oil retention, and extend component life in critical automotive and industrial applications. It ensures a consistent and controlled finish necessary for optimal sealing and lubrication.

Key Features

• Flexible, Self-Centering Design: The unique construction allows the hone to conform to the bore, automatically compensating for wear and ensuring a uniform, consistent finish throughout the entire bore length.
• 320 Grit Aluminum Oxide (AO) Abrasive: Specifically selected 320 grit aluminum oxide provides effective yet controlled material removal, ideal for achieving a refined surface finish on a variety of ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
• Creates a Plateau Finish: Delivers an optimal plateau finish that is crucial for excellent oil retention, reducing friction, and promoting longer seal and ring life in engine and hydraulic components.
• Removes Burrs and Imperfections: Efficiently removes cut, torn, and folded material from bore surfaces, eliminating potential points of failure and improving component durability.
• Professional-Grade Durability: Constructed for the demands of continuous professional use, ensuring reliable performance and extended tool life in workshop environments.

Applications

The 18MM 320AO Flex-Hone is a versatile tool for reconditioning and finishing various precision bores. Common applications include:

• Honing and deburring small brake master and wheel cylinders in automotive repair.
• Finishing hydraulic and pneumatic valve bodies and small cylinders for improved sealing and performance.
• Reconditioning motorcycle or small engine cylinder bores where a specific plateau finish is required for piston ring seating.
• Surface finishing of various industrial components requiring precise bore dimensions and superior surface integrity.
