Honing

Belden Machine Corporation and Sidley Diamond Tool Company have combined expandable single pass hone and CNC machine tool technologies to provide unmatched production accuracy for the single pass bore finishing process.

Belden Machine Corporation, a technology leader in multiple spindle machine tools since the 1940's, has developed and integrated a multiple spindle machine and CNC control for the honing process.

Sidley Diamond in the 1970's introduced the industries first expandable sleeve hones which excelled in producing maximum cylindricity. Since then Sidley has expanded and refined its product line to produce top quality hones for applications as small as 1/4" to 7" diameters and larger.

This combination of machine tool technology and bore finishing expertise results in an industry leading bore finishing system. Whatever your bore finishing requirements may be, Belden Machine Corporation and Sidley Diamond has the answer and ingenuity to produce the accurate results you need with exacting repeatability.
