• Model Number: {manufacturers_part_number}
• Nominal Diameter: 3-3/4 inches
• Style: Heavy Duty Ball Style Honing Tool
• Weight: 1.31 lbs

Key Features

• Flexible Abrasive Globules: Conforms precisely to bore contours, ensuring a uniform and consistent finish on internal surfaces.
• Heavy-Duty Construction: Engineered for durability and extended tool life in demanding industrial and automotive applications.
• Self-Centering Design: Operates efficiently without rigid fixturing, allowing for easy use and consistent results.
• Ball-Style Abrasives: Unique design with independently suspended abrasive spheres enables simultaneous deburring, cleaning, and finishing.
• Optimized for 3.75-Inch Bores: Specifically sized to deliver effective honing and surface conditioning for corresponding bore diameters.

Applications

• Engine Cylinder Bores: Ideal for finishing automotive, motorcycle, marine, and small engine cylinders to prepare surfaces for piston rings.
• Hydraulic and Pneumatic Cylinders: Prepares and finishes cylinder walls to improve sealing and extend the life of seals and pistons.
• Brake Cylinders: Ensures proper surface finish for optimal brake fluid retention and smooth piston movement.
• Industrial and Manufacturing: Suitable for general bore finishing, deburring, and surface conditioning in various metalworking operations.
• Surface Preparation: Effectively removes burrs, sharp edges, and plateau material to achieve a desired cross-hatch pattern.

Benefits

• Enhances Oil Retention: Creates an ideal plateau finish with microscopic oil-retaining valleys, improving lubrication and reducing wear.
• Extends Component Life: Reduces friction between moving parts, leading to increased durability and longevity of engine components and seals.
• Improves Sealing Performance: Establishes an optimal surface for piston rings and other seals to seat properly, minimizing blow-by and fluid leaks.
• Facilitates Break-In: Provides a consistent, non-directional finish that allows for quicker and more effective seating of new piston rings.
• Removes Imperfections: Effectively eliminates cut, torn, and folded metal without scratching or grooving the bore surface, promoting a cleaner finish.
