The ® 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 tool in 1972. The 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 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
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. ®
tools are also very effective for deburring cross drilled holes, port radiusing
and edge blending. Because of its unique construction, the 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.
QUALITY]-Proudly Made in the USA. Quality and consistency you can count on
made from the inventors and makers of the tool.
DESIGN]-The is intentionally manufactured oversized. This engineered oversize
creates the optimal amount of pressure inside the cylinder wall allowing the
tool to be self-centering, self-aligning and self-compensating for wear and
easy use.
FINISHING BENEFITS]-Offered in a wide variety of grits to achieve specific
finishing tolerances as well as a beautiful crosshatch finish. Ideal for
rebuilding hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, engine and brake cylinders, valve
guides, pumps, compressors and more.
CROSSHOLE DEBURRING]-Accomplish finishing and deburring simultaneously in a
single setup. Can be used in virtually any rotating spindle from a hand drill,
drill press or CNC equipment.
240 GRIT SILICON CARBIDE ABRASIVE]-Excellent on mild steel, stainless steel,
cast iron and other softer ferrous materials. Typically achieves a finish of 24
32 Microinch (.6 - .8 Micrometer).
WHAT'S INCLUDED]-1 Each of a BC Standard Duty : 1.875"(47.6mm) Bore Diameter,
3" Abrasive Part Length, 0.245" Shank Diameter, 8" Overall Length. For Use on
Bore Diameters Between 1.751"-1.875". PLEASE NOTE: ORDER BY BORE SIZE.
