What Is Honing? Precision Machining & Finishing Explained
Honing is a precision finishing process that uses controlled abrasives to refine internal surfaces, improve geometry, and achieve superior surface integrity. Unlike grinding or polishing, honing focuses on:
- Achieving precision bore honing
- Reducing surface roughness for improved wear resistance
- Enhancing dimensional accuracy for tighter tolerances
- Improving lubrication retention in hydraulic and mechanical systems
- Extending component lifespan and performance
This makes honing essential for applications where reliability, durability, and efficiency are critical.
