Abstract: A honing device which employs a plurality of radially-displaceable tools mounted circumferentially around a rotary body. The tools are constructed as a laminate formed by the axially elongated abrasive strip bonded to and overlying a wood backing strip. The abrasive strip has a width, as measured in the direction of rotation, which is normally less than the width of the backing strip. The abrasive and backing strips are radially urged for simultaneous contact with the cylinder wall being honed.
