Copper plate for lapping machine. Dia 600mm, NEW, make: Melchiorre,
Mimu Machine Tools Gussago BS Italy, Lapping is a machining process in
which two surfaces are rubbed together with an abrasive between them,
by hand movement or using a machine., This can take two forms. The
first type of lapping (traditionally called grinding), involves
rubbing a brittle material such as glass against a surface such as
iron or glass itself (also known as the lap or grinding tool) with an
abrasive such as aluminum oxide, jewellers rouge, opticians rouge,
emery, silicon carbide, diamond, etc., between them. This produces
microscopic conchoidal fractures as the abrasive rolls about between
the two surfaces and removes material from both., The other form of
lapping involves a softer material such as pitch or a ceramic for the
lap, which is charged with the M51236876 abrasive. The lap is then
used to cut a harder materialâthe workpiece. The abrasive embeds
within the softer material, which holds it and permits it to score
across and cut the harder material. Taken to a finer limit, this will
produce a polished surface such as with a polishing cloth on an
automobile, or a polishing cloth or polishing pitch upon glass or
steel.
