Back to basics
I would asppreciate some advice regarding honing a freshly machined bore.
I have access to a Flex hone of the right diameter to just squeeze in (the type that looks like a loo brush with carbon balls on the ends).
A look at YouTube seems to suggest 5 or 6 quick passes through the bore with a WD40 type lubricant.
Before I do anything irreversible I would appreciate some thoughts and opinions from the learned, in that:
5 or 6 swift passes on a medium electric screwdriver speed of a second or 2 per pass, or more?
should I reverse the 5-6 passes to create a diamond scoring?
Assume I am just looking for a result of light just visible scratches to hold a little oil rather than scoring of the bore.
thanks
