The LBB-1660 produces a round and straight honed bore, equal to or better than manufacturers’ new rods.

Honing units for complete rod reconditioning diameter range of 1.450″ to 4.700″ (36.9-119.4 mm). Lifetime application service comes with every machine purchase.

The best part is in only a few jobs a month, you’ll pay for your system. Plus, the LBB-1660 will be one of the most versatile machines in your shop. In addition to rod reconditioning, it does King Pins, air compressors and small bore engines like those used on motorcycles, boats and lawn mowers.
