Plateau hone, soft hone, whisker hone and ultra-finish hone. Confused? Don’t feel bad… there are many machinists out there who are uncertain about this new honing method. In fact, it’s one of the most frequently asked questions on the Goodson Technical Service hotline.
For years, we have been honing cylinders with a coarse stone followed by a finishing stone. Then ring materials changed, requiring an additional very fine finishing stone to follow. Now current technology demands an added step to create an even cleaner, burr-free finish.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) estimates that ten million people in the United States have noise induced hearing loss and nearly all of those cases are a result of exposure to noise on the job.
Unlike muscles, you cannot “toughen up” your ears so that you’re not bothered by loud noises.
Here at Goodson, we talk a lot about cleaning. Why? Because "you can't machine until it's clean" and Goodson is all about machining. In this newly updated article about cleaning, Dave Monyhan (retired) explains how to clean your cleaning machines and make them work at peak efficiency.
Carbide Pilots help keep tooling cutting true. When cutting 3-angle seats, counterboring for seat rings or using Bowl Hogs to enlarge valve bowls, the resistance of the workpiece against the tool tries to deflect the pilot. Goodson Carbide Pilots resist this deflection five times better to keep the tool cutting precisely in its path.
