Regis Manufacturing Honing Oil

Regis Manufacturing Honing Oil: Purpose-Built for Engine Builders

When it comes to cylinder work in the machine shop, the lubricant you choose is just as important as the abrasive doing the cutting. Regis Manufacturing has been serving the engine building industry since 1959, and their honing oil reflects over six decades of focused expertise in precision engine shop supplies.

What Sets Regis Honing Oil Apart

Regis Manufacturing honing oil is a clear, fine quality lubricant specifically designed for their cutting tools. Rather than offering a generic, all-purpose oil, it is a straight cut, light viscosity general purpose honing oil with no additives — meaning what you get is a clean, purpose-compounded fluid that works with your stones, not against them.

Keeping stones clean and free-cutting using honing oil reduces honing time and extends the life of your sharpening stones. For a working machine shop, that translates directly into lower consumable costs and faster turnaround on engine rebuilds.

It is pre-mixed for honing oil for all machines and general machine shop use , so there's no guesswork or dilution required — pull it off the shelf and put it to work immediately on cylinder walls, connecting rods, or any honing application in your shop.

Available in the Right Volume for Your Shop

Regis understands that not every shop operates at the same scale. Their honing oil line is offered in multiple container sizes to match your workload. The HO-1 is a 1-gallon format ideal for smaller operations or occasional use, while the HO-5 is a 5-gallon pail suited to shops with steady honing throughput. High-volume operations can step up to the HO-55, a full 55-gallon drum that keeps production lines running without constant reordering.
