really appreciate these video's, I was given an older machine with lot's of tooling. Everything you have shown so far I have, but I had no idea what the stuff was, thanks alot ! I will have lot's of questions
I used a Lisle brand version of one of these hones in a hand drill motor to final size and finish hone the cylinders on my Kubota tractor engine after re-sleeving and boring. I was having problems with tool chatter on the boring operation so I ended up going more undersize than recommended and taking out the chatter marks with the rough hone.. It was overkill for the application but I shot for 5 tenths taper top to bottom and I got it no problem (practicing for engines that spin a bit higher rpm in the future). On my dial bore gauge you could see movement of the dial to finer precision than that but the graduations were 5 tenths, so I actually beat it, but I don't know exactly how much. These things are amazing. If I can get to a thou on my lathe I'm lucky, but I'm confident that if I had better measuring equipment I could achieve tenths accuracy and precision with one of these style hones if I took my time.
Hi, the Sunnen hand hone was invented in the 1920s and guaranteed .0005" taper on automotive cylinders. Thanks for commenting, I have been thinking of doing more in depth videos on the hand hone, I was fortunate to receive factory training and have considerable field experience that could be helpful.
00:05 are those springs in the bottom of the pan there? To keep chips out of coolant or something? Not sure what I'm looking at there. Love the walkthrough of a machine like this that I've never seen before -thx
I’m glad you’re passing on some of your learned information, Not like that old Babbitt bearing pourer who up and died, taking all his knowledge to the grave !
Agriculture, logging, mining, nuclear, hydraulics and Harley Davidson factory certified. The machines come from a little bit of everywhere. Thanks for tuning in.
I was wondering about your hone as there is one up for auction here next week. It looks like yours except it it's reddish/orange. Looks like there are no mandrels that come with it though.

Thanks for tuning in, I will be using the hone for a variety of things.

Subscribed in case you do.

It is a mat made of springs, I think the idea is the honing oil flows under and parts on top drain, thanks for watching!

Thanks, I never did learn that.
Dee Dee, Great collection of some fine machines you have there sir. What is your background and how did you go about collecting all of them?

@@deedeeindustrialsuperprecision I worked at a nuke plant too.
@@deedeeindustrialsuperprecision Thanks for sharing.
good video, do you run it on 3 phase or single phase power, looking at some used units but will have to convert to single phase where I am.
This one has a single phase motor but it did have 3 phase at one time, very easy to switch if needed or use a phase converter

I have had to buy the mandrels as I need them, none came with my machine. Thanks for looking in.
LOL, technology cliffhanger. I think you need a bigger memory card or something.
I am trying to learn the ropes with the Gopro, I need to learn editing and a few other things to make better videos. Hang in there, I will get it.
