The Flex-Hone for Rotors has flexible filaments with abrasive globules mounted to a disc; it can be held in a collet, chuck, or similar holding device. For years the flexible, ball-style hone has been ...

The type of surface finish chosen will make a difference in the life of an application. Find out why surface finish is specified, how surface finish is measured, what does it mean by mill finish, and ...

A flexible hone made of CBN grit can be mounted to a CNC tool or used with handheld power tools to wear away work-hardened surfaces without inducing additional thermal distortion. By their very nature ...

HEIDENHAIN is a world-leading provider of encoders, machine controls, touch probes, digital readouts and metrology solutions—empowering engineer...READ MORE With advances in abrasive technology, ...

A recent case study on flexible cubic boron nitride (CBN) grit hones show how they are ideal for restoring the surface integrity of machined superalloys. By its very nature, high-nickel, iron or ...

Surface finishing processes are vital across numerous industries, from automotive to aerospace, construction to electronics. These processes not only enhance the aesthetic appearance of materials but ...

Researchers have developed a process to dramatically improve the quality of 3-D printed resin products. The process combines greatly improved surface texture and higher structural rigidity with lower ...

Using a tool shaped more like the surface it is finishing reduces cycle time and improves finish. Much has been made of newer roughing strategies such as high efficiency milling and for good reason.
