Your vid is very well thought-out and made. That said, it's too long. There's no need to repeat concepts unless your target audience is the dumb general public. That shouldn't be the case here.
Tool diameter is determined by the nominal bore size in which the tool is to operate. The Flex-Hone tool is always produced and used in an oversize condition. For example, a 1” Flex- Hone size is ordered if a 1” bore is to be finished and the tool is provided oversized. If the bore size is between standard Flex-Hone sizes, the next larger standard Flex-Hone should be selected. For instance, if the nominal bore is 1.093”, then the 1-1/8” Flex-Hone is ordered.
Please check out the literature section of our website We have recently created a Flex-Hone Resource Guide that has all the information you need on selecting tool diameter, grit selection, abrasive type and recommended RPMs. Also, feel free to contact us directly to speak with our technical team for more information. As always, we appreciate your business.
Yes, the Flex-Hone is used to provide the optimum finish in two stroke cylinder applications. The globules will not be harmed by coming into contact with the ported area. The tool provides a slight port radius and produces a plateaued, oil holding surface insuring instant ring seating, improved performance and longer engine life. We recommend silicon carbide abrasive for cast iron or steel. Use aluminum oxide abrasive for aluminum or plated cylinders.

Thats it. Thanks. Could you put this on your website, as it is not explicit nor innately intuitive. Great product!

Hi Mike. Can you tell me how you determine the correct size of flex-hone required?
So for a 1" bore, do you buy a 1" hone or say a 1 1/8" ? What is the usual rule here?
