Honing
Precision bore finishing and size control for improved geometry and surface condition.
Honing at American Drilling Company enhances surface finish and controls uniform hole size for parts requiring precision internal geometry. Our honing operations support both standalone finishing and integration with upstream drilling and machining, helping ensure that bores meet tight tolerance and surface condition requirements before final assembly.
Common Applications
- Improved internal surface finish for functional performance
- Controlled dimensional accuracy of critical bores
- Efficient integration with upstream drilling and machining
- Capability for long, precision bores without compromising finish
- Repeatable results across production runs
Technical Range
ADC’s honing capabilities are applied to improve internal surface finish and dimensional control across a variety of part types and bore characteristics:
- Precision bore finishing for internal surfaces where geometry and finish matte
- Size control and roundness improvement across critical internal features
- Integration with gundrilling, wire hole drilling, and CNC machining workflows
- Support for long-length bores, enabled by dedicated tube/honing equipment
- Capability to process parts up to approximately 13 feet long for extended workpieces
OnSite Equipment
American Drilling Company’s honing department includes dedicated equipment designed to handle precision finishing operations, including:
- A Sunnen tube honing machine capable of processing long parts up to 13 feet in length
- Vertical honing equipment to achieve precise bore finish and alignment on vertically oriented workpieces.
- Additional honing resources integrated with the gundrilling and CNC machining departments
