Thank you very much for this video! I'm new to machining (2nd year) and the company I work for, where we build custom electric motors, has 2 Sunnen hones and one of them is exactly like your beauty (possibly same model). This video has been extremely informative and you taught me something new about a machine I work with weekly!
Your videos on the Sunnen hone have been very informative since I have a Delapena bench hone which while just the basic hone section of the machine appears to effectively be a copy of the Sunnen, I believe even the tooling interchanges, I got it out a scrap yard for basically nothing, it has a locked up motor but the rest of the machine seems fine, I found some tooling with it but not a great lot. It's one of those projects I will get to if there is time or if I really need the machine.
I have a few Delapena arbors they fit Sunnen fine, The Delapena hones I had seen years ago at Anchor Machinery in Oregon where I bought the Sunnen are heavy top notch, but not very common except for aerospace companies said to have great fine adjustments the dealer wanted more for them, all came out of Lockheed Martin in California.
Just picked up a MBB1290D with Two racks of mandrels and boxes of NOS stones. Question is: to clean sludge from the tank should I scrub with Kerosene or something else before flushing and adding new honing oil. Thanks for the videos.
I am going over my machine, mineral spirits seems to cut through, great machines the 1290, they can do it all. Thanks for the comment I will do more videos!
What’s the horizontal bar on the right hand side for? The one which slides in the alloy casting with the thumbscrew? My machine has the casting but not the bar.

Glad it was helpful!
Good information thank you for showing the honing machine enjoy you weekend .
Hi, still moving machines!
I'm super excited just bought a MBB1600.
That sounds great!
Interesting drive system, I like the spring mat. Thanks for sharing, have a great day.
This old machine was complete with the small pieces, thanks
Nice Honing machine. It's been ages (35+years) since I operated one, and it was no where near as fancy as that one. And much older I think.
The most common was the model 1290, thanks
have a goodday .be safe
Thanks! Its on for today.

Thanks for the video. Seems like all the accuracy is in the hone not the machine.
It is a combination of the stone, oil, pressure and speed is what Sunnen states, thanks

I think that bar may be part of the power stroking attachment?
got the ag 300 gauge ?
No
those gauges are wicked expensive. you can buy a couple honing machines for the price of the gauge lol.
@@jrrebuild6762 yes but they show you what you have you know like taper
@@chrisjarvis4449 I'll build my own
@@funone8716 show us . this i want to see so make a video link please
