At CT Hone, Inc. one of our specialties is providing honing services for the aerospace industry. One of our clients approached us to vertical hone an aluminum swashplate, a component of a Flight Safety assembly. We honed four holes, each of a different size, all meeting extremely tight tolerances of + .0007″. We also removed .003″/.004″ of stock and as specified in the customer supplied operation sheet and 2D CAD drawing, to give the holes a material microfinish of 63.
