Apperley J2 2-metre stroke TUBEHONE Ref: AS305

This machine was originally built by us in 1989 and, having part exchanged it against a newer machine, we are now in the process of overhauling and restoring it to its original glory.

Apperley J5 5-metre stroke TUBEHONE Ref: AS135

This is the very first Apperley TUBEHONE ever built, and has been used in our contract honing workshop since new. Although now 30-odd years old it is exceedingly reliable, with only the odd oil leak letting it down. Regularly upgraded with new electrics and control systems, it is a proven tough rugged tube hone capable of honing parts 25 -125mm diameter up to 5000mm long. The control system is so smooth that with special tooling it can hone down to 6mm diameter, and so powerful that it can hone up to 500mm diameter should the need ever arise.

Apperley T8 8-metre stroke TUBEHONE Ref: AS205

This machine is our own demonstrator, build for use primarily in our contract honing department it has an 8-metre workpiece capacity with capability to hone small bore tubes (we’ve honed down to 15mm diameter) yet is just equally competent on large diameter workpieces (up to 750mm o/d). We’ve even used it to hone 15m long submarine periscope tubes from both ends achieving 0.05mm tolerance. It was new in 2012 and has a Siemens touch screen control operating electric drives controlling 15kW rotation, 15kw stroking and 5.5kW push expansion motors. It has mechanical end-clamping which is perfect for both thin and thick walled workpieces. It can be supplied as a full turnkey package with tooling, consumables, delivery, installation, commissioning and training depending on budget

Delapena Speedhone S Ref: AS265

Whilst Delapena Speedhones are rightly seen as the workhorse of the hand honing world the Speedhone S is something a little better. The S was the last upgrade before the design changed to the electronic EM model and so represents the pinical of Delapena's mechanical design.

This machine is in excellent condition and like all Delapena and Sunnen hand machines is suitable for honing bores 1.14 to 79.37mm diameter.
