Precision lapping services are highly sought after in the metal fabrication world. Lapping is commonly chosen when fabricating or finishing a metal part with tight flatness requirements. This process helps companies achieve exceptionally smooth finishes, with minimal material removed from the surface. At Minnesota Grinding, we help businesses across the Twin Cities and beyond source comprehensive grinding services, including lapping. To help your business select the ideal service for you, give us a call.

Lapping is Ideal for Flat Surfaces

Companies implement the lapping method to remove small amounts of surface material very slowly, to help achieve an extremely close dimensional tolerance, along with a smooth surface finish that is not shiny.  While the process does produce a matte finish, parts will often measure at a 4-8 on the Ra. Scale or better. This method is achieved by applying a lapping compound against the workpiece in rotary and reciprocating motion.
