Abstract

A honing method and honing control device suitable for the honing having a large processing area is provided. The honing control device includes a grinder and an expansion member for disposition in a processing hole of a workpiece. The amount of an expanding movement when the grinder contacts the inner surface of a gauge hole via the expansion member is stored as a target expansion amount by inserting a honing head into the gauge hole having the same size as a target processing diameter of a master gauge. Then, a honing of an inner surface of the processing hole is performed by inserting the honing head within a processing hole of a workpiece moving the grinder towards an outer side of a diametrical direction by the expansion member installed within the honing head to rotate the honing head. The honing is completed when the amount of the expanding movement of the grinder reaches a target expansion amount established by the master gauge.
