Standard Diameters8 in to 24 in (200mm – 610mm)
Abrasive Grit Range0.25 µm to 45 µm Diamond
Mesh Grit Options325, 600, 1200, 1800, 3000
  • Zero-loading composite substrate maintains aggressive, uniform cut rate
  • Compatible with automated CNC lapping stations and manual hand plates
  • Factory-certified flatness report included with every production batch
  • Custom Ablaps available upon request
Precision diamond hone tools engineered for tight bore finishing
Metrology Certified
Series DH-200
Product Series 02

Precision Diamond Hones

Homogeneous diamond matrix engineered for tight-tolerance bore finishing.

Engineered for high-accuracy internal diameter bore sizing, cylinder geometry correction, and rapid micro-finish refinement. Built with durable matrix bonds that deliver predictable cycle times across hardened steels, ceramics, and aerospace alloys.

Matrix Bond TypeSintered Metallic / Resin Matrix
