Watch and Learn from Flex-Hone® Videos

What’s the best way to learn about flexible honing? As a full-line manufacturer of surface finishing solutions, Brush Research Manufacturing (BRM) offers a variety of ways to learn about technologies such as Flex-Hone® tools. For information about tool selection, grit selection, suggested RPMs, and other technical specifications, the Flex-Hone® Resource Guide is a must-read. The BRM website also provides application guides and many other downloadable publications.

Digital books weren’t around when BRM was founded in 1958, and video content was largely limited to movie theaters and TV screens. Today, websites such as YouTube and Vimeo enable manufacturers to show how products are made, what they’re used for, and how to use tools and equipment properly. If you’ve visited the Videos section of BRM’s website before, you may be familiar with some of our most popular projects. Hopefully, video content such has How to Use a Flex-Hone® has helped you.

YouTube and Vimeo

Have you visited BRM’s YouTube and Vimeo pages, too? On both video-sharing channels, you’ll find helpful, informative content that you may not have seen before. For example, our YouTube channel is home to over 40 videos, many of which are about flexible honing. Our Vimeo channel contains a few fewer videos, but it’s easy to see what’s been uploaded most recently. On both channels, videos are arranged in playlists, a feature that helps you to find what you’re looking for.

Many Flex-Hone® users are most familiar with YouTube, of course, so let’s focus on what’s there. The Flex-Hone® In-Machine Setup for Surface Finishing and Deburring video displays prominently, and is worth watching whether you haven’t seen it before or just haven’t seen it in a while. You’ll also find playlists called Flex-Hone® for Firearms and Flex-Hone® Videos. So click on a playlist and select the video of your choice, or start with the first video and let the playlist present them all.

Playlist Picks

In the Flex-Hone® Videos playlist on YouTube, you’ll find favorites such as Brush Research and the Flex-Hone® Tool along with in-depth content about cylinder honing and cross-hole deburring. Members of different industries can learn about surface finishing on-demand. For example, Top-Performing Engine Hone Tools and Automotive Brushes is an excellent resource for engine builders and rebuilders. For brake mechanics, there’s the Flex-Hone® for Rotors – DIY Surface Finishing Challenges video.

On BRM’s YouTube channel, both the Flex-Hone® Videos and Flex-Hone® for Firearms playlists contain clips about flexible hones for firearms. For gun maintenance that keeps bores at the precise dimensions requirements, BRM gunsmithing tools improve surface finish while removing residues and build-ups that can interfere with proper firearms functioning. This SHOT Show 2015 video explains.

Knowledge Transfers

Have you used Flex-Hone® tools for cylinder wall surface finishing, parts deburring, cross-hole deburring, engine cylinder deglazing, or edge blending? Whether you’re an experienced user or thinking about trying flexible honing for the first time, BRM videos inform, educate, and entertain. Just ask Chris Duke, host of the popular DIY automotive television show Motorz, who narrated this YouTube video about a Chevy V8 small block engine rebuild.

Sometimes, Flex-Hone® users create their own instructional videos and post content to their own YouTube channels. Remember to always follow guidelines from BRM, but videos such as Engine Building with Rog are worth watching, too.
