i want to make things go boom
yep..wear a mask and have plenty of fresh air/ventilation.
Maybe because they help you to slow down instead of being in a hurry all the time. Or perhaps this person really, really wanted to keep this road analogy going so he/she had to squeeze friends in somehow. I don't really think of jobs as flats either, unless you really hate your job.
a cylinder honing machine is a mechanical device for running grinding 'blocks' up and down a bore and rotating at the same time. it is graded so that a special size of 'cross hatching' pattern is produced on the cylinder walls. this cross hatching retains a minute amount of oil and ensures smooth running and reduces wear on the cylinders. you must use safety goggles when using one and keep hands etc well out off the way as moving parts and fine grit debris will be hazardous to your health. check the stones are tight in the holding arms before operating and there is a cooling and debris removing fluid being delivered to the bore about to be honed. it's sole function is to remove a 'cut' the fine cross hatching grooves on the cylinder walls . A side effect is it makes the cylinder slightly larger due to metal removal but this is normally an very small amount. most honing machines will have at least 3 blades and be on a spring like 'arm' system designed to apply an even and parallel pressure to the cylinder as the cutting process takes place. every engine manufacturer uses them and normally has two cylinders being honed at any one time on the process of production.
