Abstract
The axial rotation of a honing tool head and the radial advance of the co-rotating honing stones are accomplished simultaneously by a magnetic coupling. The magnetic coupling connects an inner and drive axle that are driven independently. When the inner axial is driven at a differential speed than the drive axle, a connected pinion gear mechanism is engaged to transfer torque and radially displace the honing stones in response to the speed difference.
