Cylinder Hone head needed
Cylinder Hone head needed
(OP)
I have an older vertical automotive cylinder hone. I really prefer the vertical to some out today. The hone head is an older Sunnen AN model as is quite worn out. I know that in the past few years new technology has come forward to better round out cylinder bore. I would love to build or maybe even purchase a way to do this better. I would like to also be able to measure the load put on the stones. I would love to have suggestions from anyone involved in this industry,
thanks

Yes Sunnen is still in business. Their new head is a AK3000 and just the head is over $4000 and it really is not what I like. I have looked at Rottler and otheres. All have different opinions on how to get the cylinder round. I have a machine shop here at my garage and I can build alot of stuff. Befor I pay 4k, i will build

For $400, you might get a _brush_ 'hone' for a 7.5" bore...
