Possible FAQs from the Tailstock Honing Blog:
Q: What type of stone was used to Hone the cast iron Tailstock Housing ?
A: Our team used a 220-grit Silicon Carbide type stone to hone the housing.
Q: What was the Ra value achieved during the honing process?
A: The bore was later polished with 320-grit emery paper, which helped us to achieve an Ra value of 0.3 microns roughness.
Q: What accuracy was achieved during the honing process?
A: We ensured that the ovality and taper of the bore were achieved well within 10 microns for the total length of 300mm, which was crucial to ensure that the tailstock could slide smoothly in the housing and meet the desired tolerances.
