Deburring Tool - Easy Deburring, Automation & Better Metal Finishes

Internal debur while you friction-proof with Flex-Hone

Flex-Hone tools provide a dual-action solution: they remove burrs while simultaneously creating a friction-reducing surface finish. This unique capability makes them ideal for precision manufacturing and maintenance applications.

What is Internal Deburring?

Internal deburring removes sharp edges, burrs, and surface imperfections from the inside of holes, cylinders, and tubes. These burrs occur naturally during drilling, boring, reaming, and other machining operations.

Left untreated, internal burrs can cause:

  • Assembly difficulties and damage to mating parts
  • Fluid flow restrictions and turbulence
  • Stress concentration points leading to cracks
  • Seal damage and leakage
  • Foreign object debris in critical systems

Flex-Hone tools provide a controlled, consistent deburring action that removes burrs while creating a uniform surface finish.

Why Use Flex-Hone for Deburring?

Advantages

  • Self-centering prevents wall damage
  • Uniform surface finish
  • Fast and efficient process
  • Works on all metals
  • No special fixtures required
  • Minimal material removal

Common Applications

Hydraulic Cylinders

Remove burrs and create proper surface finish for seal longevity and smooth operation.

Valve Bodies

Deburr intersecting holes and improve flow characteristics in valve assemblies.

Tube & Pipe

Internal deburring after cutting prevents contamination in fluid systems.

Engine Components

Deburr oil passages, coolant channels, and bearing bores.

Medical Devices

Critical applications requiring smooth, burr-free internal surfaces.

Aerospace Parts

High-precision deburring for critical aircraft components.

Material Compatibility

Flex-Hone tools work effectively on all common materials:

Steel
Stainless Steel
Aluminum
Brass
Bronze
Cast Iron
Titanium
Copper
Plastics
