Flex-Hone Tool Std Duty 3-1/4 In - 320 S/C - Brush Research

The Brush Research GB314320 Flex-Hone Tool is an essential professional-grade solution for achieving precise bore conditioning and superior surface finishing in both automotive and industrial applications. Engineered to deliver a consistent plateau finish, this standard-duty tool optimizes oil retention and significantly extends component longevity, making it an indispensable asset for technicians and mechanics focused on quality rebuilds and maintenance.

Key Features

• Self-Centering Design: Its flexible construction ensures the tool is self-centering and self-aligning to the bore, guaranteeing uniform honing across the entire surface.
• Consistent Plateau Finish: Generates an ideal cross-hatch pattern, critical for effective lubrication, improved sealing, and reduced wear on mating components like piston rings and seals.
• Standard Duty Construction: Built for reliable and durable performance in general-purpose honing tasks, offering consistent results for professional use.
• 3-1/4 Inch Diameter: Optimized for a precise fit and effective honing within bores of this specific dimension, ensuring accurate material removal and surface preparation.
• 320 Grit Silicon Carbide Abrasive: The 320 grit silicon carbide abrasive provides a finer finish, making it suitable for applications requiring a smoother surface or pre-final finishing for critical components.

Applications

The Flex-Hone Tool is widely utilized in automotive engine rebuilding for tasks such as deglazing cylinder walls and preparing surfaces for new piston rings to improve oil retention. Its utility extends to various industrial components, including hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, brake caliper bores, and valve bodies, where a controlled surface finish is crucial for optimal performance and sealing. This versatile tool effectively conditions bores in a range of materials, including cast iron, steel, and specific non-ferrous metals.
