Key Features

• Flexible Design: Conforms to bore surface irregularities, ensuring consistent contact and a uniform finish.
• Self-Centering Action: Automatically aligns within the bore, distributing abrasive pressure evenly for precise results.
• Silicon Carbide Abrasive (320 Grit): Provides durable cutting action for precision bore finishing and effective plateau honing.
• Controlled Cutting Action: Removes microscopic peaks while retaining valleys, creating an ideal surface texture.
• Eliminates Torn and Folded Material: Prepares cylinder walls for enhanced sealing and optimal lubrication.
• Creates Cross-Hatch Pattern: Essential for consistent oil retention and proper seating of piston rings or seals.

Applications

• Engine cylinder honing (automotive, motorcycle, marine, small engines)
• Hydraulic and pneumatic cylinder finishing and deburring
• Brake cylinder and valve guide restoration
• Surface preparation for critical sealing applications in machinery
• Deburring and edge breaking in manufacturing processes
• Industrial maintenance and component overhaul requiring precision bore finishing

Benefits

• Optimized Oil Retention: The precisely engineered cross-hatch pattern effectively holds lubrication, significantly reducing friction and wear.
• Extended Component Life: Achieving a superior surface finish minimizes abrasive wear and premature component failure.
• Improved Sealing Performance: Ensures proper seating of piston rings and seals, reducing leakage and blow-by in cylinders.
• Enhanced Break-in: Facilitates a quicker and more effective break-in period for new or rebuilt engines and hydraulic components.
• Consistent Surface Finish: Delivers uniform results across the entire bore, which is crucial for high-performance and critical applications.
• Versatile and Easy to Use: Simplifies complex bore finishing tasks, allowing users to achieve professional results efficiently.
