ISO 2" Hone

[Larry Natzke]

Having trouble finding a 2″ ball hone to keep my 50mm axle bearings and hubs tidy.
Struck out at Harbor Freight store and online.
Any suggestions?

If your looking to buy online try http://www.mcmaster.com

For local options look to MSC Industrial Supply, they have locations all around the state and will have what your looking for. They also have an online ordering company which is called J&L Industrial Supply.

Larry et all:

I had the same issue and used the company Greg is suggesting (although it was at Doug’s suggestion) and I bought & received one delivered to the house at a VERY reasonable price. They don’t carry a 50 mm, 2″ is 51 mm but it is the same one Greg demonstrated to us. Careful when ordering…there are two compounds and one is quite pricey. I purchased the lesser-priced of the two which is identical to the one Greg showed us. You’ll just need to dig a little bit when looking it up on their web site.

Thanks, Greg & Doug!

I got a 180 grit hone from the same supplier, for both the front and rear kart applications. This was a few years ago.

Be careful with the hone on your hubs, especially a magnesium component. They can be rendered unusable very quickly. We also use a lube when using the hone.
