2. It is highly accurate.
3. It can be used for both long and short bores.
4. It maintains original bore centerline.
5. Any material can be finished regardless its hardness.
Limitations:
1. Honing is though of as a slow process.
2. Horizontal honing may create oval holes unless the work is rotated or supported.
