Honeing (if thats spelled right) Anyway is there anything that won't clog up the stones?? I have used oil and every other kind of spray and nonspray lube. Am I missing something?? Or can you hone it dry?? I have been taking the hone out and wire brushing them clean. Two seconds later its clogged again. Jonathan

For honing oil, I use that half empty bottle of brake fluid without the cap that shows up on my bench after my sons have been around, usually just after I buy a clean new bottle.

One thing to think about, when you are 'cleaning' the stone with a wire brush, is that you are depositing the metal from the brush on the stone as well.

I use WD-40. The solvents mentioned will work well, just keep a steady stream of whatever lube you choose going. I run the drill with one hand, spray the wd with the other. Doc

jonathan, Several of the oil companies make honing oil,but as statedin other post fuel or kero work
well . I use solvent , flood the hone and catch and recirculate it . If you flood it well enough
the stones will stay clean , and you will not have the gray slime to clean out ( tough to clean). To
clean , soak with an oily cleaner ( orange label
gunk or the like), then steam clean with a non-
oily soap. we always hot tank before boring and
honing. e mail if you have questions.

I think solvent works real good. You can put it into an oil pump can and squirt it in or just make sure it stays wet while hoening. Don`t think I would do it dry.

Ford, I use brake fluid. Just keep it flushed good then clean it after I'm finished. Later

When I have honed out brake cylinders on cars I have used alcohol that is what the instructions tell you . I think the reason for that is that alcohol is compatible with brake fluid .You may give this a try .Alcohol may make the metal grindings more liquid. Just a thought, JMc
