The grit size of a Honing Stone exerts a direct influence on the final surface roughness of machined bores and overall processing productivity.

Generally, coarse-grit honing stones result in inferior surface roughness but feature higher material removal efficiency and productivity.

In contrast, fine-grit honing stones can achieve excellent surface roughness, while their machining productivity is relatively lower.

For heavy-duty deep hole honing applications, the grit size of the honing stone is commonly selected in accordance with the following standards:

Rough honing: 80# ~ 180#

Semi-finish honing: 180# ~ 280#

Finish honing: W40 and finer grit
