/ FINE PROCESSING OF DRILLS
Honen customizes bores and cylinders with the correct roundness and surface quality.
Bring your part in, and we will tell you honestly whether honing, cylindrical grinding, or a combination will give the best result.
With rotating, oscillating grinding stones, the inside of a hole is controlled and refined. Honing corrects three things simultaneously:
For seals, pistons, bearing bushings, and hydraulic applications, that is often exactly what is needed. Moreover, honing is usually more cost-effective than internal grinding.
What is feasible depends on the material, wall thickness, and length of the bore. Submit your drawing, and we will confirm what we guarantee.
Usually as a finishing piece on a part that we mill or turn ourselves. This way, the dimensional control remains in one hand.
Are you unsure whether to choose honing or internal cylindrical grinding? We think with you based on your application and provide honest, technical advice.

Honing is a fine machining process for the inside of holes and cylinders. Using rotating, oscillating honing stones, the surface is made smooth and precisely sized. The process improves roundness, cylindricity, and roughness, and creates a cross-hatch pattern that benefits lubrication.
You hone cylinders when:
In short: you hone cylinders when “approximately right” is not sufficient, and you want the certainty that the inside is measurably perfect.
