GNH Giant Portable Hone

GNH Giant Portable Hone

Product catalog summary
Overview: The GNR Giant Portable Hone is designed for large diameter work on deep bores, production honing, or parts with limited access for stone adjustment in diameters larger than 254mm (10 inches). It is suitable for honing bores up to 304mm (12 inches) long, with options for longer bores using additional drive shafts.
Specifications: The hone requires 2 sets of W47 or WY51 stones. It is powered by drive motors of 2.2-3.7KW (3 to 5 HP) and can be driven by a radial drill press or large lathe with a 29 mm (1-1/8 inch) chuck capacity. Recommended RPM is calculated by dividing 1200 by the bore diameter in inches or 30,000 by the bore diameter in mm.
Components: A complete Remote-Feed Giant Hone includes a GNR-920 Remote-Feed Giant Drive Unit and a Giant Hone Head. Additional Hone Heads can extend the diameter range. Drive Shaft Extensions are available for bore lengths beyond 305mm (12 inches).
Ordering Information: Various part numbers are available for different diameter ranges and shipping weights. Special orders require contacting customer service.
Usage: The remote feed allows for stone expansion control and quick retraction. Universal joints enable the honing head to align with the workpiece.

GNR Giant Portable Hone For large diameter work on deep bores, production honing, or parts with limited access for stone adjustment in diameters larger than 254mm (10") CUSTOM TOOLING PORTABLE TOOLING STANDARD TOOLING STANDARD MANDRELS Additional Hone Heads Extend the Diameter Range GNR-1010 Remote-Feed Giant Hone assembled with honing stones. Will hone bores up to 304mm (12") long as shown. Order additional drive shafts for longer bores. All giant hones require 2 sets of W47 or WY51 stones to load the hone. (See Tables on page 146 for Stone sets for GNR Hones.) The remote feed permits the operator to expand the stones at any time while the honing head is running in the bore, as well as when the hone is stopped. The operator controls the amount of stone expansion and the honing pressure by braking the feed wheel while the hone is turning. The remote feed also permits the operator to quickly retract the stones and remove the hone from the bore when the hone is stopped. MACHINE ACCESSORIES Drive Source Drive motors of 2.2-3.7KW (3 to 5 HP) provide adequate torque to turn the hone. These hones may be driven by a rigidly mounted power source such as a radial drill press or a large lathe; 29 mm (1-1/8") chuck capacity is required. Remote-Feed Giant Hones are equipped with two universal joints which allow the honing head to align itself with the workpiece. Recommended RPM: To establish optimum RPM for your application, divide 1200 by bore diameter in inches. EX: 1,200÷10=120 (RPM). Or, divide 30,000 by bore diameter in mm. EX: 30,000÷254=118 (RPM).

TECHNICAL DATA A complete Remote-Feed Giant Hone consists of a GNR-920 RemoteFeed Giant Drive Unit and a Giant Hone Head, as illustrated. The GNR-920 Remote-Feed Giant Drive Unit can be used with other Giant Hone Heads to extend the diameter range. Select additional Hone Heads as needed from the table below. Giant Hones will handle bore lengths up to 305mm (12") without Drive Shaft Extensions. When Extensions are necessary, they can be used one at a time or in multiples, making it possible to hone practically any bore length. All Drive Shaft Extensions are installed between the hone head and the feed wheel as illustrated above. The feed wheel remains outside the bore being honed, accessible for stone expansion.
