Honing is an abrasive process, which is designed to improve the
accuracy of cylindrical surfaces.
The Sunnen honing process is capable of producing round, straight
holes with a degree of accuracy and surface finish. Sunnen honing
equipment can be used to size or finish a wide range of diameters
from as small as 1.5mm to as large as 1524mm (0.060” –
60”).
There are ten common bore errors associated with machining, heat
treatment, or chucking. Honing can correct these errors with the
least amount of material removal.
With Sunnen honing, many bores that would normally take a long time
to set up and machine by other means, can be handled quickly and
easily.
