180SC 9.5MM FLEX HONE - Brush Research

The Brush Research BC95M18 180SC 9.5MM Flex Hone is an essential tool designed for professional automotive and industrial technicians seeking to achieve superior surface finishes. This abrasive tool effectively deburrs, cleans, and improves the surface finish of bores, ensuring optimal performance and longevity for critical components. Its unique design creates a consistent plateau finish, ideal for enhancing oil retention and seating rings or seals.

Key Features

• Self-Centering Design: Ensures uniform honing pressure and consistent finish throughout the bore, even in blind holes.
• Flexible Abrasive Filaments: Conforms to bore irregularities, removing torn, cut, and folded material without altering the bore geometry.
• Plateau Honing: Produces a deglazed surface with a cross-hatch pattern, significantly improving oil retention capabilities and reducing friction.
• Durable Construction: Engineered with high-quality materials to withstand rigorous professional use in demanding environments.
• Versatile Grit: The 180SC silicon carbide grit is suitable for a wide range of materials and finishing requirements, offering a balance between material removal and surface refinement.

Applications

This 9.5mm Flex Hone is ideal for a variety of critical applications in automotive and industrial settings. It is commonly used for cylinder bore finishing in small engines, brake caliper bores, valve guides, and hydraulic cylinders. Professional mechanics and machinists utilize it for preparing surfaces for new piston rings, ensuring proper seal seating, and general bore maintenance where a precise and consistent surface finish is paramount.
