But recently, Mike asked us if he could do the honor of ordaining Loren.

According to a process for machining bores in workpieces, a honing tool provided with an abrasive coating and radially pressed against the wall of the bore carries out simultaneously a rotary and a reciprocal movement.

In production, the patented CONICSHAPE® cylinder honing reduces internal engine friction and also increases efficiency.

In a quest to reduce friction losses, the cylinder barrels that are integrated into the top half of the engine block now undergo slide honing.

In a process for finishing the hardened teeth of a bevel gear wheel by grinding after hardening, the ground teeth are fine-honed, this procedure being carried out in the same chucking unit as used for the preceding grinding.

This is why the raceways of NSK ball bearings undergo a bespoke honing process that is designed to deliver an extremely smooth running surface.
