BC 8MM .315" 180SC FLEX HONE - Brush Research

The Brush Research BC8M18 Flex Hone is a professional-grade abrasive tool engineered for precision surface finishing, deburring, and deglazing of small diameter bores in automotive and industrial applications. This resilient and flexible honing tool is designed to create a consistent, optimal plateau finish, which is crucial for improved part performance and longevity.

Key Features

• Optimal Bore Finishing: Features a 0.315" (8mm) diameter with 180-grit silicon carbide abrasive globules, ideal for achieving a uniform plateau finish and removing cut, torn, and folded metal.
• Flexible Design: The twisted wire stem and flexible nylon filaments allow the tool to be self-centering and self-aligning to the bore, reaching into confined spaces and cross-drilled holes without elaborate setups.
• Durable Construction: Built by Brush Research, a recognized manufacturer in surface finishing tools, for robust performance and extended tool life in demanding professional environments.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for use in wet or dry conditions, accommodating a variety of materials including mild steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and other softer ferrous materials.

Applications

The Brush Research BC8M18 Flex Hone is an essential tool for professional technicians and machinists working on critical small components. It excels in tasks requiring precise internal surface conditioning and deburring. Common applications include:

• Engine Components: Ideal for finishing and deglazing valve guides, lifter bores, and small cylinder bores to ensure proper piston ring seating and reduced oil consumption.
• Brake Systems: Effectively used for surface refinishing in brake cylinders and wheel cylinders.
• Hydraulic and Pneumatic Systems: Creates an optimal sealing surface in hydraulic and pneumatic components, crucial for tight tolerances and preventing leaks.
• Deburring Cross-Drilled Holes: Simplifies the process of removing burrs from cross-drilled holes, creating a clean, radiused intersection and eliminating stress risers.
• General Industrial Maintenance: Applicable for finishing and deburring any type or size of cylinder in various industrial machinery and small parts.
