Long Steel Tube
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".
