Brake cylinder hones for honing compression tube ?

if there is a cocking slot there is every chance the stones will catch and totally screw the cylinder.

Yes their is a slot . Can I not just push the hone past slot to compression area and start it in this area only .
Never used such tools but seemed a posserbility .
I can see that if it were to be used in slot area it would cause major damage .

you'll be fine if you start it and stop it past the cocking slot,use plenty of oil on it though.

As above and in my other post ... that is what I used but when the subject has been raised before, several people said that a hone would not do a good job. But as stated ... start and stop the hone away from the slot.

A brake hone is not really the best tool for the job.

I was just in the garage looking at what I have with a close to 28 mm dia.
I'm not ruling out the brake hone but if I can work something else a little safer than me with a electric drill and brake Horner that would be sensible.

Any thoughts on a dowel wrapped in emery or wet and dry well oiled just rotated with a gentle forward backward motion by electric drill.
