Honing Tool

Sunnen now offers a 60-grit premium red aluminum-oxide honing abrasive. The new abrasive formulation resists chip loading and galling even in stainless steel, the company states. It is available for the company’s current general hone tools, as well as those of other manufacturers.

The 60-grit abrasive was specifically formulated for machining oil and gas industry parts on which fast base metal removal is critical to enlarging a bore in a short cycle time.

According to the manufacturer, during field tests, the red abrasive outperformed brown aluminum-oxide and remained clean while cutting stainless steel at high horsepower.
