The paper analyzes the process of internal honing of cylindrical gears, a new and modern method of finishing the gear tooth flanks. At the beginning, the kinematics of the process is being analyzed. By realizing the state of art, we were able to identify the main features of the process, its advantages in terms of surface precision and quality, the residual stresses and the wear of the flanks compared with other finishing processes. An experimental study of the geometric precision, the shape of the flanks and the roughness for honed surfaces compared to the unfinished ones, highlighted the value and the need of this process.
