Novoflex Flexible Honinh Tools have round, abrasive beads fastened
to the ends of flexible filaments. This self centering tool will
conform to the bore surface providing a consistent, even surface
finish over the life of the tool. The Novoflex Flexible Honing
Tool will even provide an "edge break" not possible
with conventional honing stones.
Key Features:
• Sturdy, self-centering system
• Flexible filaments are engineered to provide the correct pressure
to create an ideal hone - bore after bore
• Rigid abrasive media is firmly attached to the end of the flexible
filaments making the tool excellent for tough cross-hole deburring
and edge radiusing applications
• Available for hole diameters ranging from 6.4mm to 203mm
•
Grit choices are available in Silicon Carbide & Aluminum
Oxide from 60 through 320
Great On:
•
Engine bores
•
Pneumatic and hydraulic bores
•
Valve and pump housings
•
Pipes
•
Connecting rods
•
Cam bores
•
Crank bores
•
Valve bores
•
Hydraulic cylinders
•
Stainless steel tubing
Applications:
• Honing
• Creating cross hatched surface pattern for oil retention
• Cylinder port area deburring
• Eliminating inside flashing
Instructions:
1. Choose the Novoflex Flexible Honing Tool
for your specific hole size. The actual Flexible Honing Tool
will
be approx 10%
larger than the hole size.
2. Use 10-30 weight oil for honing lubrication, when honing
hydraulic brake cylinders, use hydraulic brake fluid as a
honing lubricant.
3. Have the Flexible Honing Tool rotating
upon entry and removal from the bore.
4. Recommended RPM range
for the Flexible Honing Tool
is 100 to 1200 RPM, based on the brush diameter. Air Tools
are
not recommended.
5. Use 60-120 strokes per minute depending
on the RPM. Final stroking may be accelerated to develop a
45 degree
cross-hatch
angle.
6. Honing time should be approximately 20/45 seconds
per bore.
7. Do not use solvents for honing or cleaning.
8. Clean cylinders
after honing with warm or hot water and detergent using an
Osborn plain nylon brush,
and then lightly
oil the bore.
