It's a real big machine with a catch basin and everything in it, should I tell him to not do it if it needs to go over .010"? I like that he recommended it to me because the price to do it vs boring is less but can a hone machine like that take it further like .020" over?

Thanks Mike, and yeah, I'm a hoot owl.
He has a honing machine and a cabinet. He probably also has a lot of different stones. I'm not sure why he would use it over a boring bar if going more than .010". Maybe because he can set it to run and leave it? But, he can do that with a boring bar too.... It is just as good as boring, so there's nothing wrong with it. If I had a cabinet like that, I'd probably do it that way too if I wasn't going over .010".
Everyone else, THANKS!
