Flex-Hone Tools
Our patented Flex-Hone tools provide precision surface finishing for cylinders, rotors, and industrial components. Available in 11 grits and 8 abrasive types from 4mm to 36" diameter, these tools create controlled microstructures that enhance component performance and longevity. Ideal for automotive, firearms, and industrial applications requiring consistent plateau finishes.
Industrial Brushes
We manufacture specialized industrial brushes for deburring, cleaning, and surface preparation. Our product line includes power brushes, twisted-in-wire brushes, and miniature deburring tools designed for challenging applications in automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing sectors. Each brush is engineered for specific material removal requirements and surface finish specifications.
Automotive Brushes
Our automotive brush solutions address engine component cleaning and surface preparation. Products include rotor finishing tools, valve guide brushes, and diesel engine maintenance brushes compatible with Cummins, Detroit Diesel, and Caterpillar equipment. These tools improve performance through precise surface conditioning while extending component service life in automotive applications.
Wire Brushes
We produce industrial wire brushes for cross-hole deburring and flue cleaning applications. Our twisted-in-wire brushes effectively remove carbon deposits from pipes and prepare surfaces for coating or welding. These tools maintain dimensional accuracy while achieving required surface finishes in hard-to-reach areas across multiple industries.
Custom Brushes
Our engineering team develops custom brush solutions for unique finishing challenges. From large diameter Flex-Hone tools to specialized abrasive configurations, we create tailored products that meet specific dimensional, material, and performance requirements for both standard and non-traditional applications across various industries.
