Single Sided Flat Lapping is a polishing process where a part is held in position and weighted down. An abrasive is then fed onto a rotating lap plate to smooth the surface of the component.

This process is ideal for both low and high-volume requirements and can be performed on a wide range of materials. The setup and fixturing required for the Single Sided Flat Lapping process is simple and inexpensive.

Single Sided Flat Lapping is a stress-free process and the parts do not incur any thermal distortion.
