Tight tolerances and low surface finishes are typical for parts that require honing. With extensive honing capabilities, we provide services tailored to the unique needs of every project—ensuring the highest level of craftsmanship, consistency and customer satisfaction from start to finish.
Carlson has a full complement of surface finish gauges to measure and document the surface finish achieved. We also have a full complement of gauges to measure the diameter along the full length of the honed hole.
The honing process is used to achieve a precision hole size and an improved surface finish. Honing is typically an operation that directly follows an ID drilling/boring process. It is intended to provide a smoother finish, and it can improve the geometric form of the bore. The smaller the grain that is used, the smoother the finish will be. The improved shape of the bore after honing often results in a higher precision component.
