What is lapping?
2nd August 2016

Lapping typically produces a uniform surface that nevertheless is ‘damaged’ by the lapping process; the depth and nature of this damage will be the result of a combination of factors such as the particle size and material of the abrasive, the force applied, the material type, the lapping plate, and so on. Logitech can offer a variety of abrasives and lapping plates that will produce required results on various materials.
