The dimension of the honing stone depends on the design of the honing holder / mandrel. In particular, the height of the abrasive layer is defined by the possible in feed path of the holder. For the sake of the clarity.
Type of honing stones are given as below : Standard Honing Stones :
Honing stones having abrasive layer on steel base. Honing stone is soldered on honing shoe / carrier.
To write dimension: W X H X L X A
Same as standard honing stone but a slot longitudinally for better cutting, cooling and chip removal.
To write dimension: W X H X L X AS
This stone consists only the abrasive (No steel base) and is also soldered on the honing shoe / carrier or holder segment.
To write dimension: W X H X L X A
Honing stones for direct fitting into the body of the honing holder. This type of stone is generally used for very small bore honing.
To write dimension: W X H X L X A
Drawing of the stone required for manufacturing.
W = Width (mm) H = Height (mm) L = Length (mm) A = Abrasive height (mm)
S = Slot width (mm)
The characteristics of a honing stone as well as a fine tuning of all the different parameters make it possible to achieve the required result. In addition to high quality in manufacturing, both a short processing time and a long life of the stones can be achieved.
