Accredited to the AS 9100 aerospace quality standard and an SC21 Bronze level award company since August 2010, Hone-All Precision Ltd reports that aerospace continues to be a growth area for the Leighton Buzzard-based subcontractor. “It is a highly competitive market sector but our experience as a tier two supplier in other equally demanding industry sectors such as oil & gas and motorsport has proved invaluable,” says Andrea Rodney, Director.

The company’s most recent investment has been in two Sunnen horizontal tube honing machines, ideally suited to tube honing applications requiring high stock removal rates on larger diameter components. However, although specialising in deep hole boring, deep hole drilling/gun drilling and honing, Hone-All Precision has invested in the complete spectrum of precision machining. “This takes in everything”, says Colin Rodney, Managing Director, “from sourcing raw materials right the way through to fully machined components.” |

It is Hone-All Precision’s experience of producing high length-to-diameter ratio holes, often in difficult to machine materials such as Inconel and Hastelloy, while guaranteeing excellent surface finish and straightness characteristics that continues to be the key to progress. In terms of hole drilling this equates to a surface finish of 0.8 μm/32 CLA and a total run-out (TIR) of 0.025 mm/25.4 mm, while the typical surface finish for honing is 0.05 µm. FULL STORY |
