Re: cross hatch

I gradually work my way down to a cut piece from a brown paper bag wrapped around my hone as my last finishing process soaked with a light clean honing oil for a super slick cylinder finish. For some applications. Low tension rings with a carefull break in process . = HP!

Re: cross hatch

My father has 3 Sunnen machines in his shop. Just like a Porsche, there is no substitute.
