Flex-Hone Cylinder Hone for Rotors - Medium

The FLEX-HONE® for Rotors imparts the ideal surface finish on new and turned rotors to insure instant brake pad seating and eliminate noise. This unique tool utilizes proprietary FLEX-HONE® technology to create a non-directional or basket weave finish while removing torn and folded material produced by turning or truing. Friction induced brake noise is the number one reason for customer dissatisfaction and returns when purchasing new brakes. By removing the jagged peaks from the turned brake surface, the tool produces. The FLEX-HONE for Rotors should be securely held in a collet, chuck or similar holding device. The disc rotor should be mounted on a brake lathe and rotated between 125 and 210 RPM. Position all guards before starting the tool. The tool should be chucked securely in a variable speed electric drill motor or low speed air drill. The tool should rotate 300-600 RPM. (never exceed 1000 RPM). Bring the tool into contact with the rotating rotor at a slight angle and work in towards the center and out to the edge of the rotor face. Light, uniform pressure is used. Dwell time against the part produces the desired finish not excessive pressure. The tool is used dry and should be worked for 15 to 20 seconds at a time. Do not overheat by dwelling for longer periods of time. 10-15 seconds clockwise and 5-10 seconds counterclockwise should produce the desired finish.
