Honing investment increases efficiency, cuts costs
Willingness of a honing company to invest in a TBT twin-spindle deep hole drilling machine, and to increase efficiency is contributing to shorter delivery times and highly competitive pricing.
Given that the biggest challenge is usually one of time, it is not unknown for the 25-strong team at Hone-All Precision to work round-the-clock when faced with a tight delivery schedule.
The 10,000ft2 factory is capable of drilling, boring and honing components up to 3m long, and is fully equipped for all subsequent machining operations.
It also features a bespoke quality control and inspection facility while on the production side Hone-All Precision has recently installed a Nagel deep hole drilling and boring machine capable of producing holes from 18mm to 60mm diameter to a depth of 1500mm and a TBT twin-spindle deep hole drilling machine that can drill up to 16mm diameter by 500mm deep.
Hone-All Precision produces anti-roll bars, steering columns, transmission parts and other components in, for example, titanium, aluminium and various alloy steels for a number of Formula One teams.
It also supplies fully machined components to rally teams, Champ and Indy car manufacturers, and companies specialising in tweaking and tuning enthusiasts' cars to rally standards.
The Dunstable-based sub-contractor even caters for individuals rebuilding classic cars for which spare parts are not readily available.
"We tend to specialise in prototype work and small batch production," says Rodney, "But whatever the request we offer a single source solution and enjoy the satisfaction that comes from helping others to realise their dreams and achieve their ambitions.".
