Abstract
It is desirable to provide a relatively coarse finish at one end of an inner cylindrical wall of a cylinder or a cylinder liner and a relatively finer finish towards another end of said inner cylinder wall. A honing member is provided for rotation and oscillation in contact with the inner cylinder walls. A first section of the honing member has a relatively coarse grit surface and a second section of the honing member has a relatively fine grit surface. The abovementioned oscillation and rotation of such a honing member comprises an improved method for honing a cylindrical wall.
