BC14M12 Flexible Cylinder Hone","description":"\u003ch3\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe BRUSH RESEARCH MFG. BC14M12 is a flexible cylinder hone designed for controlled surface finishing and deglazing of small-diameter cylinder bores. Built with silicon carbide abrasive, this tool delivers a fine 120-grit cut suitable for mild steel, stainless steel, and cast iron. The abrasive segment length measures 2.5 inches, and the tool has an overall length of 8 inches with a shank diameter of 0.19 inches. It is rated to a maximum of 1,000 RPM. Machinists, engine rebuilders, and maintenance technicians use this hone to restore bore geometry and surface finish without removing excessive material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe BC14M12 is suited for applications requiring precise bore conditioning in small cylinders. Its maximum bore diameter of 0.551 inches and minimum bore diameter of 0.552 inches place it in a tight sizing range appropriate for hydraulic cylinders, small engine bores, pneumatic actuators, and similar precision components. The flexible ball-style construction allows the abrasive stones to conform to the bore surface, making it practical for use in both production and repair environments across machine shops and industrial maintenance settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e120-grit silicon carbide abrasive provides a fine cutting action for light material removal and surface refinement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbrasive segment length of 2.5 inches ensures consistent contact across short bore depths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with mild steel, stainless steel, and cast iron workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum operating speed of 1,000 RPM for use with standard drill motors or honing machines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall length of 8 inches with a 0.19-inch shank diameter for easy chuck mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible construction allows abrasive stones to self-center and conform to bore walls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for cylinder bores in the 0.552-inch to 0.551-inch diameter range in mild steel, stainless steel, and cast iron components.

Secure the shank in a drill chuck and confirm the spindle speed does not exceed 1,000 RPM before operation. Apply a suitable cutting fluid or honing oil to the bore during use to control heat and extend abrasive life. Do not force the hone into undersized bores or operate above the rated RPM.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbrasive Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Silicon Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 120\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Bore Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.551 inches (14.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Bore Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.552 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbrasive Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.19 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum RPM\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1,000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Mild Steel, Stainless Steel, Cast Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.17 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: BRUSH RESEARCH MFG.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: BC14M12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BRUSH RESEARCH MFG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67911674790194,"sku":"BC14M12","price":32.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/fc697c38695a52e84ed8eee416d9d2f7_9f5dd433-4d3c-4b8d-87ac-f931ab5c1582.jpg?v=1791216267","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/brush-research-mfg-bc14m12-flexible-cylinder-hone","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
