Working on the M18 and have a question on cylinder. The cylinders look quite good with no vertical scratches. A faint bit of the original cross hatch is still seen, quite obvious where the rings don't touch. I have your standard run of the mill 3 stone hone that runs in the drill chuck. I pulled an old lawn mower apart so I could practice on something besides the real deal. I realize it is an aluminum bore I am practicing on but. It certainly takes the glaze out fine but all the light scratching from the hone seems to run in a horizontal pattern only. When I compare that to the cross hatch seen in the M18, which runs at a minimum of a 45 degree angle to each other. It is significantly different.
Thought I would run it by you all before I continue.

Thank you much. Oh and warm greetings from
