• SURFACE FINISHING – The Flex-Hone Tool is available in a variety of abrasive types and grit selections to provide the optimum surface finish on any base material
• The Flex-Hone is commonly used to reduce Ra, Rk and Rpk values while maintaining Rvk and Vo volume for oil retention
• Using the Flex-Hone Tool for surface finishing allows the sizing tools to do their jobs quickly and accurately without fighting surface finish
• The Flex-Hone is also used in adhesive bonding applications where a rougher surface is desired for bonding integrity
• DEBURRING – Debarring of cross drilled holes is an expensive, time consuming operation. The Flex-Hone Tool can be used to remove burrs from cross drilled holes leaving a clean, radiused intersection
• Because of its unique construction, the Flex-Hone can be used online in machine tool applications or offline as a secondary operation
• The tool is self-cantering and self-aligning to the bore so elaborate, rigid set-ups are not required
• It is advisable to use the tool in the main bore into which the cross holes break
• Best results are obtained by rotating and stroking the tool a few strokes in a clockwise direction, removing the tool from the part, reversing the spindle and then rotating and stroking the tool in a counter clockwise direction for a few more strokes
• This forward and reverse rotation creates a more symmetrical debarring pattern
• PLATEAU FINISHING – Brush Research pioneered the concept of a plateau finish and is a strong proponent of the benefits of a cross hatch, plateaued finish
• The concept involves removing the peaks produced by prior machining operations and creating a substantially flat or plateau finish
• A plateau finish created by the elimination of peaks allows rings and seals to seat without damaging their edges
• The cross hatch pattern will aid in lubrication control and retention, reduce seepage in hydraulic and pneumatic applications and promote longer seal life
