Honing  Ball hone etc.

Who is using these flex ball hone etc? 

Only time I used one was for my race 166 after it had hung a ring. 

Been reading up on them and may try one.  Then buy them all if I like.

Nobody doing this?    I'm just thinking of taking it that extra mile of de-glazing and redoing the cross hatch for rebuilds.

Checking to see if I had to use their flex hone oil.

The Flex-Hone REQUIRES the use of a lubricant. Always generously lubricate prior to use with 10-30 weight motor oil or BRM's custom Flex-Hone Oil. Hydraulic brake fluid may be used when honing hydraulic brake cylinders.

Using a drill, lathe, milling machine or CNC equipment, rotate the tool prior to entry. The tool will be oversized for the cylinder bore you are working with. Recommended RPM range 500 to 1200 RPM

The Flex-Hone is a low RPM tool. Do not use air tools or high speed motors.

Stroke 60-120 strokes per minute. Accelerate final stroking to develop a 45° cross-hatch angle.

Only use the Flex-Hone for approximately 20-45 seconds per cylinder. Do not over hone. Too much honing can result in the removal of material.

Do not use solvents when operating the Flex-Hone.

Thoroughly clean the cylinders after honing with a soft nylon brush using warm water and detergent. Oil the cylinder after cleaning to prevent corrosion
