Honing tool with honing-stone-restoring system

A honing tool comprising

• an at least partially tubular tool body which has a cutting region with at least one honing stone receiving opening which runs from inside of the tool body outwards for receiving a honing stone,
• wherein dimensions of the honing stone receiving opening and of the honing stone are matched to one another in such a way that the honing stone is received between delimiting surfaces of the honing stone receiving opening to be radially movable and substantially free of play in a circumferential direction of the tool body, and
• wherein the honing stone has an oblique surface on an inner side projecting into the interior of the tool body,
• a feed element which is guided in the tool body and which has an oblique surface corresponding to the oblique surface of the honing stone, so that an axial displacement of the feed element towards an end of the tool body remote from a spindle causes a radial outward displacement of the honing stone,
• a honing stone restoring system which comprises at least one elastic restoring element which, in the installed state of the honing stone, acts on the honing stone in such a way that a radial force acts from the outside inwards and presses the honing stone in the direction of the feed element,
• characterized in that
• the elastic restoring element is C-shaped and partially surrounds an outer side of the tool body in the circumferential direction.
