A worm-shape or screw-shape hone, for honing gear teeth, has the tooth profile of the basic rack at its normal plane. The hone is formed by molding synthetic polymers in which there are dispersed abrasive particles, to provide a Shore hardness of 15 DEG - 75 DEG and a Young's modulus 0.5 - 70x103 kg/cm2. The hone is engaged with the gear to be finished and is rotated by a motor with the hone driving the gear. During honing of the gear, the hone is fed parallel to the axis or tooth trace of the gear over the whole face width of the gear. The polymer material may comprise a co-cured blend of polyurethane rubber and epoxy resin having a suitable flexibility, good resiliency and high abrasion resistance, and the abrasive particles may comprise Alundum or Carborundum, the abrasive particles being exposed at the working surface of the hone.
