Apparently everything really is "bigger in Texas," including a 32-ft. stroke, 24-in. ID honing system built to handle long, large-diameter parts used in the oilfield.

 

Hole Specialists President Larry Robinson thinks big, and not just because he's a Texan. His business philosophy is based on "big" --- drilling, sizing, straightening and finishing parts with exceptionally long bores. 

 

The business' latest machine tool acquisition, a Sunnen HTG tube hone with a 32-foot stroke and I.D. capacity of 24 inches, fits the "big" definition. It is the centerpiece of a 25,800 sq. ft. expansion to the company's 35,000 sq. ft. shop in Tomball, TX. "We actually designed the new building around our large-part honing requirements," said Robinson. 

 

The HTG, which Hole Specialists beta tested, joins 14 other Sunnen machines, increasing the shop's honing output and size capability.

 

There's a solid technical reason behind the old expression "honed to perfection" -- honing really is a "perfecting" process for holes.
