The Brush Research GB33418 FLEX-HONE is a remarkable tool designed for precision finishing and deburring. With a diameter of 3-3/4 in (95mm) and a grit of 180, this tool is perfect for working with mild steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and softer ferrous materials. Proudly made in the USA, it offers 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 inside the cylinder wall, allowing the tool to be self-centering, self-aligning, and self-compensating for wear. This means that users can achieve a perfect finish with minimal effort, making it an essential addition to any workshop.
When it comes to finishing benefits, the FLEX-HONE excels in providing a beautiful crosshatch finish. It is available in a wide variety of grits, allowing users to achieve specific finishing tolerances. This makes it ideal for rebuilding hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, engine and brake cylinders, valve guides, pumps, compressors, and more.
Another key advantage of the Brush Research GB33418 FLEX-HONE is its ability to accomplish finishing and deburring simultaneously in a single setup. This versatility means it can be used in virtually any rotating spindle, whether it be a hand drill, drill press, or CNC equipment. This flexibility enhances productivity and efficiency in any machining process.
The 180 grit silicon carbide abrasive is particularly effective on mild steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and other softer ferrous materials. Typically, it achieves a finish of 30 - 40 Microinch (0.7 - 1 Micrometer), making it a reliable choice for those seeking high-quality results.
Included with the FLEX-HONE is one standard duty unit with a bore diameter of 3.750 in (95mm), an abrasive part length of 3.50 in, a shank diameter of 0.310 in, and an overall length of 13.5 in. It is specifically designed for use on bore diameters between 3.501 in and 3.750 in, ensuring that users have the right tool for their specific needs.
In summary, the Brush Research GB33418 FLEX-HONE is an indispensable tool for anyone working with metals. Its innovative design, quality construction, and versatile applications make it a top choice for professionals and hobbyists alike. Whether you are looking to achieve a precise finish or deburr surfaces, this tool is sure to meet and exceed your expectations.
