Honing

ID honing is a precision finishing process used to achieve exceptional bore geometry, surface finish, and dimensional control where grinding alone is not sufficient.

Orbit Group specializes in precision internal diameter honing for components requiring tight tolerances, controlled crosshatch patterns, and stable surface integrity. Our honing processes are optimized for critical applications where sealing performance, roundness, and straightness are non-negotiable.

Capabilities include:

• Precision honing for small and large bore diameters

• Tight control of size, roundness, and cylindricity

• Surface finishes optimized for sealing and wear performance

• Controlled crosshatch patterns for lubrication retention

• Air gaging and in-process inspection for repeatability

Our honing expertise supports aerospace, defense, and hydraulic components such as spools, sleeves, valve bodies, and precision bores, where consistent performance depends on both geometry and surface condition.
