A customer approached CT Hone, Inc. with a project requiring custom horizontal honing of a large steel tube. The tube measured a 70″ long, with a 19.5″ diameter. Using our custom-long/horizontal honing machine & Sunnen tooling, we honed the part to a finished I.D. of 18″ with a material microfinish of 32. We removed .010″ stock and, as specified in the customer supplied operation sheet and 2D CAD drawing, met tolerances of ± .002″.
