LAPPING & POLISHING

Lapping and polishing are processes designed to remove material from a work piece to achieve a desirable surface finish, dimension, shape or combination of these characteristics.

Usually an abrasive is used in an oil or water based carrier, a vehicle to carry the compound to the work piece and the removal of material from the work piece.

Lapping can remove much more material and leaves a dull matte finish, while polishing removes a small amount of material and leaves a bright, reflective finish.
