Brake Cylinder Flex Hone - 9mm - 180 Grit - Brush Research

The Brush Research BC9M18 Brake Cylinder Flex Hone is a precision abrasive tool designed for professional technicians and mechanics to achieve optimal surface finishing in a range of automotive and industrial cylinders. This 9mm diameter, 180-grit flexible hone efficiently creates a consistent cross-hatch pattern, crucial for proper seating of new components and extending cylinder life. Its resilient, flexible design ensures a self-centering and self-aligning operation, simplifying setup and use.

Key Features:

• Optimized for Brake Cylinders: Specifically engineered for reconditioning brake cylinders, providing a smooth, even finish that enhances component longevity and performance.
• Silicon Carbide Abrasive: Utilizes durable silicon carbide abrasive globules, ideal for effective material removal and superior surface finishing on materials like mild steel, stainless steel, and cast iron.
• 180 Grit Finish: Delivers a medium-grade 180 grit finish, which is excellent for creating the desired plateau finish for brake cylinders and other softer metals, promoting better oil retention and sealing.
• 9mm Nominal Diameter: Provides precise fitment for small bore applications, including brake and clutch master cylinders, as well as various hydraulic and pneumatic components.
• Professional-Grade Construction: Built by Brush Research, a company with a long history of manufacturing excellence, ensuring reliability and consistent performance in demanding workshop environments.
