Q. What is the use of honing machine?

Answer

The markings and roughness that are left on a work by the cutting tools are removed using a procedure called honing. This brings the job up to the correct size so that it may be used. Honing machines are used in the production of the finishing of cylinders and gears, air-bearing spindles, internal combustion engines, and other similar machinery. There are many different kinds of hones, but they always have one or more abrasive stones that are pressed against the surface they are working on. Some hones even have many stones. When honing, specialised honing attachments are fastened to the tool. In order to get the desired results, a honing stone and a flexible electrical drilling machine are used. The metal being worked on dictates whether a honing stone is formed of aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, or diamond dust; this choice is made by the manufacturer. The honing stones come in a variety of sizes and forms, including square, round, and triangular configurations.
