Diamond Honing Stones, Honing Sticks for Zirconia Cylinder Honing
BOSON diamond and CBN hone stones are suitable for mounting on honing tools of all brands and designs. The extreme hardness of the cutting grain and bond result in excellent cutting efficiency in connection with a long service life.
Our diamond and CBN honing stones (abrasive sticks) are available as standard diamond stick to fit to the steel carrier. Alternatively, we can supply the honing stick ready for fitting as a diamond stick with expansion profile. This minimizes the preparation required in your company. For special requirements we also supply the honing sticks in the following special forms:

BOSON Abrasives supply the following types of honing stones for honing different materials:
Diamond (D, DM) - Metal bonded excellent for accelerated stock removal and long abrasive life in cast iron, carbide, titanium, silicon carbide and other exotic materials.
Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN, NM) - Metal bonded excellent for accelerated stock removal and long abrasive life in ferrous material.
Diamond has become the material of choice for both high volume production engine rebuilders as well as custom engine builders and performance shops. Diamond honing stone cut faster, last up to 50 times longer and leave a much more consistent bore finish than conventional abrasive stones such as silicon carbide and aluminum oxide. A set of diamond honing stones may costs up to 20 ~ 30 times as much as a set of conventional honing stones, but when their much greater longevity is factored in, diamonds cost less in the long run and their consistency is much better.
Diamond honing stones are available for most popular honing heads. But to maximize the benefits of diamond honing, the honing machine must be capable of handling higher loads.
