New Honing Tool Keeps Noise Out of Brakes

 

1 min to read


LOS ANGELES - Brush Research Manufacturing is introducing its Flex-Hone Tool to manufacturers, rebuilders, and service shops for use on brake system rotors.  The honing tool produces a superior final finish that eliminates braking noise and extends brake service life. The same tool may also be used on flywheels to remove torn, cut and folded metal fragments.

The Flex-Hone is a versatile tool used throughout industry where metal machining is involved. This ball-style hone is recognizable by the abrasive globules, sometimes called "dingle berries," mounted to nylon filaments. Known widely as a tool used for de-burring, plateau honing and deglazing, this is an inexpensive yet sophisticated device. A precision-quality flexible hone not only de-burrs bored metal, but can easily remove even microscopic metal shards and fragments.
