I am interested in making roller wheels for automotive cam followers.
The material of the samples I have are 9310.
Bores are about 0.4 dia x 0.5 long.
The axles and needles are fairly easy to find, the wheels are so far impossible to find at a practical price.
The part that I am not familiar with is finishing the inside of the rollers. My best guess is that I will need to buy a Sunnen honing machine and hone the last 0.001" or so.
Does anyone have any knowledge about if honing is the way to finish these and if so, any specifics like what grit stones?
