FAQs
What type of drill should I use?
You can use either an electric or air drill. Ensure the drill speed does not exceed 2400 RPM.
What is the correct honing pressure?
Adjust the honing pressure using the knurled nut. It should be firm enough to remove material but not so tight that it damages the cylinder.
How often should I replace the honing stones?
Replace the stones when they become worn or no longer effectively remove material from the cylinder walls.
Can I use this on engine cylinders?
No, this hone is designed for small bore cylinders, such as those in brakes, clutches, and motorcycles. It is not suitable for most engine cylinders.
How do I clean the hone?
After each use, clean the hone thoroughly with a cleaning solvent and a brush. Remove any metal particles and debris.
Troubleshooting
Honing is uneven or ineffective.
Check the honing stones for wear or damage. Ensure the honing pressure is correctly adjusted and the drill speed is within the recommended range. Make sure the cylinder is clean before honing.
Hone is difficult to insert or remove from the cylinder.
Make sure the hone is properly sized for the cylinder. Apply a light amount of honing oil to ease insertion and removal.
