Automotive engineering

Many car parts manufacturers, engine reconditioners, diesel mechanics, car and kart racers, hobbyists and repair specialists already use our Flex-Hone® tools and industrial brushes. The Flex-Hone® tool is available in numerous sizes, grits and abrasive types and is ideal for honing engine blocks, surface finishing, deburring and paint removal from cylinders. Walter Krupp Dieseltechnik also supplies a full range of automotive brushes, including high-quality NamPower™ abrasive brushes.

From brake drum manufacturers to truck engine remanufacturers, automotive suppliers use machine-mounted Flex-Hone® tools for consistent, high-quality surface finishing and deburring results. For each type and size of automotive cylinder, Flex-Hone® creates a unique cross-hatch pattern for optimum lubrication. When Flex-Hone® is used for cylinder venting, it ensures the correct fit and sealing of new piston rings in car engines. Hobbyists often use Flex-Hone® with an electric drill.
