  • Patent number: 9873181
    Abstract: A tool, system, and process for finishing a cylindrical member is provided. The finishing tool includes an opening. The opening is sized to receive a cylindrical member. The interior wall of the tool opening is configured to reduce a roughness of the cylindrical member. The opening has a second cross-sectional area that is less than the cross-sectional area of the member. A retainer can secure the member. In response to the opening interior wall slidably contacting a finishable area of the member as the finishing tool is moved relatively closer to the member at a relative force, the roughness of the finishable area of the member is reduced to a second roughness.
