Honing machines are made in horizontal and vertical versions. For long workpieces, horizontal machines are more practical. They are also easier to load and unload and less costly to fixture. Vertical machines are more effective for short, heavy parts.

Honing machines can be manual, automatic, or under CNC. In the manual machines, the operator holds the part and strokes it over the rotating honing tool. With automatic machines, the part is fixtured and the operator sets the hone motions. The machine starts on command and stops automatically when the required bore size is reached. The operator is responsible for some basic calculations for setup and monitoring machine cycles. With CNC, the operator enters workpiece parameters, sets starting positions for stroke and feed, presses start, and the honing machine controls the workcycle. Automatic compensation for abrasive wear can be programmed, as well as bore size and taper gage feedback. When high productivity is required, loading, unloading, and part transfer robots are added.
