Precision finish of a cylinder bore
Honing may be considered a self-truing grinding process - [1]

Other Means to Bore Finishing

Dedicated machines and cutters can also be used (boring machines), but the boring bit can also be mounted on a mill - [2]
Drilling - good for only 10 mil in 1" or larger drills - [3]
Milling holes - 1 mil with a boring bar [4], from Practical Machinist - [5]

Seamless Tube, Seamed, and DOM

DOM has a seam, so it's not seamless. It is processed over a mandrel to hide seam.
Seamless is actually extruded - a seam is never formed
Seamed is welded
DOM is welded then drawn over a mandrel
This supplier uses DOM and seamless for hydraulic cylinders - [6]
