The method of the invention provides a capability for accurately and unif ormly determining the sizes of bores of workpieces, both pre- and post-proce ss, to improve process control, particularly compensation for tool or stone wear and other factors, and process data collection. The present method make s all required bore measurements, including those in both the workpiece bore and the calibration ring or sample workpiece bore, with the honing tool, un der controlled static, non-honing conditions, including expanding the tool i n the bores in a predetermined manner, such as at a predetermined rate. The method of the invention has utility for honing multiple workpieces to a fini shed size with a single tool, and also for multiple spindle applications.</S DOAB>
