Industrial honing job work is a specialized machining process that refines the internal surfaces of cylindrical components to achieve high precision, dimensional accuracy, and a specific surface finish. Companies offer this service to other manufacturers on a contract basis, or "job work".
The process uses rotating and reciprocating abrasive stones, called hones, to remove a minimal amount of material from the inner diameter of a workpiece. This creates a unique cross-hatch pattern on the surface, which is ideal for retaining lubrication and reducing friction.
