Adjustable Cylinder Hone, 51–177mm Bore Range
Brief Overview
This adjustable cylinder hone is engineered for precision honing applications across a wide bore range—from small motorcycle cylinders to larger brake and clutch cylinders. The flexible drive shaft eliminates binding and misalignment during operation, critical for achieving uniform surface finishes in tight spaces. The three-point abrasive stone design delivers consistent pressure across bore walls, making it the natural choice for workshops handling diverse cylinder sizes. For smaller bore applications, consider pairing this with a compact hone for 32–90mm cylinders to maximize your bore-finishing capability.
Key Features
- Wide Working Range: 51–177mm bore diameter coverage
- Three-Point Abrasive Stone Configuration: Delivers balanced honing pressure across cylinder bore
- Adjustable Pressure Sleeve: Knurled lock nut allows fine-tuning of stone protrusion and honing pressure to match material and finish requirements
- Flexible Drive Shaft: Prevents torque binding and ensures precise alignment in angled or offset bore positions
- Easily Replaceable Stones: Quick-change abrasive stones minimize downtime between jobs
- Hex Drive Shank: Direct compatibility with standard drills, pneumatic drivers, and rotary tools
Why Resellers Choose This Hone
Operational Versatility: The 51–177mm range covers the majority of aftermarket cylinder work—motorcycles, automotive brakes, and clutch cylinders—making this a single-tool solution that reduces inventory complexity while serving multiple repair categories.
Pressure Control = Quality Control: The adjustable pressure mechanism directly translates to customer satisfaction. Mechanics can dial in the exact stone load for each bore material (cast iron, aluminum, chrome-lined), reducing over-honing and costly rework.
Drive Flexibility Matters: The flexible shaft design addresses a critical pain point in tight engine bays and angled cylinder positions. Reduced binding means faster honing cycles and less operator fatigue—both drivers of repeat purchases.
Margin Potential: Cylinder honing is a high-labor, high-margin service. This tool enables shops to offer precision finishing without investing in expensive fixed honing machines, creating a compelling sales story for your customers.
