Lapping Plate
Kemet Lapping Plates
Kemet Iron Lapping Plates (Grey)
The most commonly used lapping plate. For general purpose stock removal and lapping applications. Excellent for stock removal and pre-polishing operations.
Kemet XP Lapping Plates (Brown)
Gives improved flat polished surfaces on many materials. Mirror surfaces can often be produced on harder materials.
Kemet Copper Lapping Plates (Orange/Brown)
Used to lap softer materials where fine lapping and polishing are the primary requirements.
Kemet Tin Lapping Plates (Grey)
One of the softest Kemet lapping plates used for mirror polishing with fine grades of Kemet Liquid Diamond.
Kemet Ceramic Lapping Plates (White)
One of the hardest Kemet Lapping Plates. Used for special applications often where a cleaner lapping process is required.
We offer a relapping service for Kemet plates that are worn out of flatness.
Kemet FP Plates (Grey)A replacement for the Kemet Lead/Tin Plate, the Kemet FP Plate gives good stock removal, whilst producing high quality surface finish and flatness with Kemet Diamond Slurry.
Grooving
Kemet lapping plates can be supplied grooved to suit specific applications such as square, spiral and concentric

- Easy control for optimum flatness.
- Lapping/polishing plates available to fit all makes of lapping machines with plate diameters up to 3000mm.
- Dissipates heat and prevents laminar flow of lapped surfaces.
- Supplied with a cast iron backing plate for maximum stability.
- Recommended when high precision flatness and surface finish are required.
