The Diamond Flex-Hone® Tool

Product catalog summary

Introduction
Brush Research Manufacturing introduces the Diamond Flex-Hone, an advanced tool designed for deburring, edge blending, and surface finishing in hard materials such as carbide, ceramic, and aerospace steel alloys. These tools utilize premium coated diamond abrasives to enhance heat dissipation and bond retention.

Specifications
The Diamond Flex-Hone is available in standard sizes ranging from 4mm to 20mm, with three different mesh sizes: 170/200, 800, and 2500. Additional sizes and mesh options can be ordered specially.

Applications
These tools are suitable for a variety of applications, including carbide wear parts, guide and drill bushings, ceramic cylinders, heat-treated steel, high nickel stainless steel, MMX aluminum alloys, chromed and plated bores, aerospace components, medical parts, and EDM recast layers.

Technical Advantages
The Diamond Flex-Hone is engineered with resin bond diamond crystals that have high friability, resulting in self-sharpening edges. This design ensures a free-cutting tool with a rapid cut-rate, producing an optimal finish.

Case Study
A manufacturer of carbide wear rings improved their surface finish from Ra 0.7 to 0.05 µm using the Diamond Flex-Hone with progressively finer grits, achieving a near mirror finish.

Company Background
Brush Research Manufacturing has been innovating in brush technology since 1958, providing solutions for challenging finishing and deburring problems.
