The Brush Research BC23412 FLEX-HONE is a versatile tool designed for precision finishing and deburring of various materials. With a diameter of 2-3/4 in (69.9mm) and a grit of 120, this hone is perfect for use on mild steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and softer ferrous materials. Proudly made in the USA, it guarantees quality and consistency that professionals can rely on.
One of the standout features of the FLEX-HONE is its intentional oversized design. This unique engineering creates optimal pressure within the cylinder wall, allowing the tool to be self-centering, self-aligning, and self-compensating for wear. This means that users can achieve excellent results with minimal effort, making it an ideal choice for both novice and experienced users.
When it comes to finishing benefits, the BC23412 FLEX-HONE offers a wide variety of grits to meet specific finishing tolerances. It is particularly effective in achieving a beautiful crosshatch finish, which is essential for applications such as rebuilding hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, engine and brake cylinders, valve guides, pumps, and compressors. The versatility of this tool makes it a must-have for any workshop.
Another advantage of the FLEX-HONE is its ability to accomplish finishing and deburring simultaneously in a single setup. This feature saves time and increases efficiency, allowing users to complete their projects faster. The tool can be used in virtually any rotating spindle, whether it be a hand drill, drill press, or CNC equipment, making it adaptable to various work environments.
The 120 grit silicon carbide abrasive is particularly effective on mild steel, stainless steel, and cast iron, typically achieving a finish of 35 - 50 Microinch (0.9 - 1.4 Micrometer). This level of precision is crucial for applications where surface finish is paramount.
Included with the BC23412 FLEX-HONE is one standard duty hone with a bore diameter of 2.750 in (69.9mm), a 3 in abrasive part length, a 0.245 in shank diameter, and an overall length of 8 in. It is designed for use on bore diameters between 2.626 in and 2.750 in, ensuring that it meets a wide range of needs.
In conclusion, the Brush Research BC23412 FLEX-HONE is an exceptional tool that combines quality, versatility, and efficiency. Whether you are a professional mechanic or a DIY enthusiast, this hone will help you achieve the perfect finish on your projects.
