The Brush Research BC64M18 Brake Cylinder Flex Hone is a professional-grade tool engineered for superior surface finishing and deburring in a variety of automotive and industrial cylinders. Designed with a flexible, resilient construction, this 6.4mm (1/4 inch) hone delivers a soft, controlled cutting action to produce an optimal plateau finish with an oil-retaining cross-hatch pattern. It is an essential tool for technicians and mechanics seeking to enhance component performance, improve seal life, and reduce seepage in critical applications.
Key Features
- Self-Centering and Self-Aligning Design: The abrasive globules feature independent suspension, ensuring the Flex-Hone remains self-centering, self-aligning to the bore, and self-compensating for wear, providing consistent results without elaborate setup.
- Premium Silicon Carbide Abrasive: Constructed with durable Silicon Carbide abrasive, this hone is effective for finishing mild steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and other softer ferrous materials.
- 180 Grit (Extra Fine) Finish: The 180 grit abrasive delivers a precise, extra-fine finish, creating a true plateau free of cut, torn, and folded metal for optimal surface integrity.
- Optimized Cross-Hatch Pattern: Engineered to produce a unique cross-hatch pattern that enhances oil retention, promoting improved lubrication, reduced friction, and extended seal performance in hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
- Durable, Long-Lasting Construction: Built for the demands of professional use, the Brush Research Flex Hone offers exceptional durability and a long service life.
