ok here we go.
I'm an Align Bore Machinist in canada i specialize in mining equipment.
and really some ppl have been right, really it all come down to the variables
-how bad are the bores
if they are out of round by more then 0.010" then I would take a skim cut if not then hone
-how much bigger would you like to go
if you want to go bigger then 0.050" then I wouldcut (align bore)
and as for finish well homming gives a better finish but when I cut {I always leave 0.002" to hone out so that the bore is perfect. |
