Honing is an abrasive machining process used to create a precision ID surface suitable for sealing. A honing head containing honing stones grinds a bore to a desired size and surface finish. Honing a cylinder can correct ovality and a scratched surface, commonly found on repair cylinders. Honing is also used to create a consistent bore size at the right clearance.
