FOR SOME DECADES HONING HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY APPLIED FOR MACHINING OF BORES. THE RANGE OF APPLICATION HAS EVEN BECOME WIDER AS A FLEXIBLE ADAPTATION TO THE RESPECTIVE MACHINING TASK IS POSSIBLE. THEREFORE HONING HAS BEEN CLASSIFIED IN VARIOUS METHODS. CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES OF HONING ARE: LOW CUTTING SPEED, CROSS-HATCH PATTERN, SELF-SHARPENING EFFECT, AND COAXIAL MACHINING. WITH THE PREVIOUS POSSIBILITIES OF ACHIEVING THE DIMENSIONAL AND SHAPE ACCURACIES AS WELL AS THE SURFACE FINISH IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO MEET NEW REQUIREMENTS ON SQUARENESS AND AXIS PARALLELISM; THEREFORE, IMPROVEMENTS AND NEW METHODS HAVE BEEN MADE POSSIBLE BY NEW DEVELOPMENTS. THE EFFECTS OF THE NEW DEVELOPMENTS ARE EXPLAINED AND SOME CHARACTERISTIC EXAMPLES ARE PROVIDED.
