Honing

Honing is the machining with a versatile tool of combined grain under permanent surface touching between work piece and tool for the improvement of dimension, form and surface of pre machined work pieces. Between tool and work piece a change in direction of the length movement takes place. The obtained surfaces show parallel, criss crossing grooves. The work procedure consists of two overlaying movements: the swivel movement of honing tools or work piece and the stroke movement of the honing tool. It is used for the machining of outer diameters and outer honing. Even though it is meant primarily for the super and final finishing, today, the honing has developed into a real machining procedure. The main reason is the further developed honing stones and honing machines. The possible abrasion performances in rough honing meet those of grinding procedures with a power driven grinding wheel.
