Description:

The specified Cylinder Honing tool, designed for an 89mm application, is a specialized component for engine maintenance, ensuring precise and efficient honing. To achieve optimal results, it should be securely held in a collet, chuck, or similar holding device, with a preference for the shortest shank possible for improved control. Proper lubrication is crucial for a smooth honing process, necessitating the tool to be well coated before entry and continue rotating until fully removed from the part. The tool's operational RPM range spans from 60 to 1200, depending on the tool diameter, with smaller diameters demanding higher spindle speeds. Users are advised to commence with a spindle speed between 500-800RPM and may need to experiment to determine the optimum speed for their specific application. Importantly, the RPM should never exceed 1200 to avoid potential damage.

Key Features:

• Secure Holding: Ensure the Cylinder Honing tool is securely held in a collet, chuck, or a similar holding device for precise and controlled honing.
• Optimal Shank Length: Enhance control and precision by using the shortest shank suitable for your application.
• Lubrication and Continuous Rotation: Ensure a smooth honing process by coating the tool with lubricant, initiating rotation before entry, and maintaining it until fully withdrawn.
• Variable RPM Range: Adapt the tool to different spindle speeds, ranging from 60 to 1200 RPM, contingent upon the tool diameter. Smaller diameters require higher spindle speeds, with a recommended starting range of 500-800 RPM.
• Cutting Oil Requirement: Manage heat effectively, prevent tool loading, and suspend removed materials by consistently using good quality cutting oil or honing fluid.
• Continuous Stroke Rate: Maintain a continuous stroke rate between 120 to 180 inches per minute for optimal honing. Accelerate final stroking if a 45° crosshatch finish is desired.

Technical Information:

• Diameter and RPM Relationship: Adjust spindle speeds based on the tool diameter, with smaller diameters requiring higher spindle speeds for efficient honing.
• Speed Experimentation: Users may need to experiment to find the optimum spindle speed for their specific application, with the recommended starting range provided.
• Maximum RPM Limitation: Avoid exceeding 1200 RPM during operation to prevent potential damage to the Cylinder Honing tool.
• Heat Management and Material Suspension: Consistently use a high-quality cutting oil or honing fluid to manage heat, prevent tool loading, and suspend the material being removed.
• Honing Time Guidelines: Utilize the minimum honing time necessary to achieve the required finish, with an average honing time ranging between 10-25 seconds or 5-15 strokes.
• Cylinder Cleaning Procedure: Post-honing, clean the cylinder using hot, soapy water and a cleaning brush. Dry the cylinder and continue to clean with a lint-free cloth coated with light oil or mineral spirits until the cloth remains clean.
