These tools are characterized by high grain protrusion with high holding forces. The tools are used particularly in the micro range, in single-pass honing, and as a low-cost alternative to conventional honing tools. Starting from a defined diameter, worn tools can be recoated. We will be glad to provide this service for you. With the appropriate adapters, electroplated honing tools can be used on all common honing machines. And we even have suitable solutions ready for you for use in drilling, turning and machining centers. KADIA Micro Honing shafts Expandable honing tools for extra-small bores. Available from 0.8 mm to 1.2 mm, these shafts are either made conventionally out of steel or consist of nested alloy tubes. Standard tool for honing micro bores For improving dimensional, geometrical and surface tolerances and for introducing residual compressive stresses into the bore Versions available for both through holes and blind holes
