The Sunnen LBB-1699 is a heavy-duty horizontal honing machine built for accurate, consistent cylinder honing on blocks, sleeves, and large bores — ideal for automotive, diesel, and industrial engine rebuilding shops. As a used unit, the LBB-1699 provides a cost-effective opportunity to add professional-grade honing capabilities to your shop, enabling you to handle a wide range of bore sizes and cylinder types without the expense of a new machine.
With robust construction, hydraulic or mechanical feed (depending on configuration), and flexible tooling adaptability, the LBB-1699 is well-suited for everyday honing work — from light automotive blocks to larger diesel or industrial bores. For shops performing regular engine rebuilds or heavy-duty cylinder work, this machine represents excellent value as a used piece.
Large Bore Capacity & Flexible Cylinder Compatibility — Handles small automotive cylinders up to larger diesel or industrial bores, giving wide flexibility for mixed workloads.
Horizontal Honing Design — Ideal for Block Work — Straightforward loading and clamping of engine blocks or sleeves; ideal for cylinder-to-cylinder consistency and batch processing.
Durable Construction for Shop Environments — Built with heavy-duty frame and durable honing components to withstand frequent use, abrasive media, and shop-floor conditions.
Adaptable Tooling & Stone Options — Compatible with a variety of honing stones, sleeves, and tooling to match different materials and finish requirements — useful for cast iron, steel, or specialty alloys.
Surface Finish & Geometry Control — Designed to deliver consistent bore finish, roundness, and taper control — important for engine rebuilds, cylinder refits, and quality reman work.
Cost-Effective Used Machine Option — Buying used allows shops to expand their honing capability at a fraction of the cost of new machines — a smart choice if you’re building up capacity or offering cylinder work services.

Your machine’s long-term performance is our priority.
Decades before today’s engine shops trusted our equipment, Tony was already deep in the craft — rebuilding motors, machining blocks, and pushing for better precision.
A local newspaper once featured him as a standout young machinist, noting his drive, attention to detail, and obsession with doing things the right way. That same passion would eventually shape our company’s values.
Today, that commitment lives on in every machine we sell, every customer we support, and every shop we help succeed.
