Flex-Hone Aluminium Oxide (AO) for Soft Materials

Flex‑Hone Aluminum Oxide – Specialist Tool for Machining Soft Materials

The Flex‑Hone AO (Aluminum Oxide) series is tailored to non‑ferrous and soft ferrous metals such as aluminium, brass, bronze and mild steel. The evenly distributed AO abrasive grains cut smoothly without clogging, producing a plateau surface that improves lubricant retention and reduces wear.




Key benefits

  • Gentle stock removal: Cuts efficiently while preserving dimensional integrity.
  • Improved surface quality: Creates a non‑directional, cross‑hatched pattern that enhances sealing and sliding properties.
  • Versatile grit range: Available from 120 to 800 grit to meet finish requirements from pre‑coating prep to mirror‑like surfaces.

Typical applications include engine blocks, hydraulic cylinders, pneumatic actuators and medical devices where controlled surface texture is critical.
