Product catalog summary
Introduction
Brush Research Manufacturing introduces the Flex-Hone® for Rotors, designed to enhance the surface finish of new and turned rotors, ensuring immediate brake pad seating and noise reduction. This tool employs proprietary technology to create a non-directional finish, removing imperfections from the rotor surface.

Product Specifications
The Flex-Hone for Rotors is available in three grit levels: Fine (240Z), Medium (120Z), and Coarse (60Z). Each is suited for different applications, from light-duty vehicles to heavy-duty vehicles and flywheels.

Recommendations for Use
  • Fine Grit: Ideal for light-duty vehicles and motorcycles, especially when a bright finish is desired.
  • Medium Grit: Suitable for most passenger cars and light trucks.
  • Coarse Grit: Best for flywheels and heavy-duty vehicles, particularly when rotors are poorly turned.

Instructions
The tool should be securely held and used with a brake lathe rotating at 125-210 RPM. It should be chucked in a variable speed drill rotating at 300-600 RPM, not exceeding 1000 RPM. The tool is applied with light pressure for 15-20 seconds, alternating between clockwise and counterclockwise motions.

Benefits
  • Increased number of rotors per hone.
  • Non-directional finish reduces harmonic vibrations, eliminating brake noise.

Flex-Hone for Rotors-1

ELIMINATE BRAKE NOISE BRUSH RESEARCH Brush Research Manufacturing is proud to offer the Flex-Hone® for Rotors. The Flex-Hone for rotors imparts the ideal surface finish on new and turned rotors to insure instant brake pad seating and eliminate noise. This unique tool utilizes proprietary Flex-Hone® technology to create a non-directional or basket weave finish while removing torn and folded material produced by turning or truing. Friction induced brake noise is the number one reason for customer dissatisfaction and returns when purchasing new brakes. By removing the jagged peaks from the turned brake surface, the tool produces a plateau finish with much higher bearing area which translates to quieter brakes. The Flex-Hone for Rotors can also be used on flywheels for improved friction performance. The finish produced by the Flex-Hone for Rotors is far more consistent and repeatable compared to sandpaper or discs.
