Turn a small drill press into a Bore/ Hone. Bolt it to the top of your engine block & do your own machining .

WTF??? On hard surfaces you use a SOFT stone to hone and of soft surfaces you use a HARD stone.

If you are honing a SBC you use a hard stone because that junk is so soft.

If you are honing a quality aftermarket block or sleeve you need soft stones.
The tool is Officially described as a Bore head for cutting engine cylinders oversize..."with an internal server controlling the expansion " not a hone. I am sure the correct stones will come with application specific instructions for use..who to say what soft or hard is for the use? Don't be so nit picky and quick to find fault...my step mother was that way. I would consider that child abuse. Sincerely Jesse
