Description:
The Flex-Hone® tool was originally created by Brush Research Manufacturing to deglaze cylinder walls in automotive applications. Brush Research embraced the benefits of a plateau finish and pioneered the concept of plateau honing culminating in the introduction of the Flex-Hone tool in 1972. The Flex-Hone has gained many nicknames over the years and including ball hone, ball style hone, flexihone, dingleberry hone, bead brush, glaze breaker and glaze buster. Flexible honing with the Flex-Hone tool produces an oil holding cross hatch pattern and a true plateau finish free of cut, torn and folded metal. Any type or size of cylinder can benefit from the Flex-Hone®. These abrasive bead style brushes are produced in standard diameters from 4mm to 36 inches. Nine abrasive types are offered including silicon carbide, aluminum oxide, boron carbide and diamond allowing the tool to be tailored to finish any base material. A choice of 11 different grit selections are available for precise control of finish parameters. The elimination of peaks results in rapid ring seating, better oil control, reduced seepage in hydraulic and pneumatic applications and provides better seal performance and longer seal life. Successful applications include firearm chambers, shotgun barrels, musical instruments, combustion chambers, air compressors, pumps, valve bodies, valve guides, brake cylinders, wheel cylinders and the list goes on and on. Flex-Hone® tools are also very effective for deburring cross drilled holes, port radiusing and edge blending. Because of its unique construction, the Flex-Hone is self-centering, self-aligning, and self-compensating for wear so it does not require an elaborate set-up or special training. Deburring can be effectively automated and combined in the machining process to allow a complete cylinder finish in one operation or it can be employed as a secondary operation with equal results.

Worked very well honed out old steel wagon wheels for bushings
5.0 out of 5 stars Worked great
Worked great and still have it
5.0 out of 5 stars The best.
Flex homes are the best I’ve ever used. Last long and are available in any size. Little pricy but worth in it longevity.
5.0 out of 5 stars 5/8" is the perfect size to clean out and polish outboard tilt tubes for steering cables
After years of fighting with metal brushes and files to clean out tilt tubes for the steering cable on outboard engines I discovered this tool. Pull the steering cable out of the transom bracket. With a little bit of WD40/oil and a drill on low speed oscillate back and forth from both sides. This makes quick work of any corrosion inside the tilt tube. You don't have to go wild and make a mirror finish inside, just enough to clean it up. Go for a few seconds and pull the tool out to inspect.Once cleaned up I'd recommend putting a Seachoice 28251 on instead of the included plastic cap mercury gives you. it allows you to retain the grease and actually seal out water from ever getting into the tilt tube in the first place.Any corrosion inside there will make steering very difficult and can kill your steering cable.5/8" is the right size on all of my mercury outboards, your mileage may vary.The only complaint I have is longevity. I know these are an abrasive so they wear by design, but one lasts me one very corroded tilt tube or two moderately corroded ones. Even so, this is much cheaper and easier than replacing the tube outright.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worked on my U-Joint Yoke Bores
Good product for smoothing out the yoke bores on my Corvette drive shafts. After forty years and 90,000 miles, the bores had become lightly faceted and had a few scratches on the surface.But after a few passes with this honing tool lubed with WD40, they look great and the new U-joint bearing caps will still fit tight inside the yokes, which is what you want.Because of the properties of the hone, I bought one oversized by approximately 1/4” which was perfect. And I used my battery-powered drill to run the hone until the bores looked good and clean.You just want to thoroughly clean off the slurry this process creates, so have handy paper towels and a parts or brake cleaner spray.Thank you for reading and good luck with your project.
