8"x1/2" Diamond Channel Faceting Lap

Diamond Channel Laps feature a textured surface with diamond-impregnated "islands" separated by channel depressions, designed to enhance debris evacuation and cutting efficiency. These metal-bonded diamond laps are pre-mounted on an aluminum master lap for stability and compatibility with standard equipment (1/2" arbor hole).

Key Features:

• Debris Management: Channels rapidly flush away swarf, preventing loading and maintaining cutting speed.

• Aggressive Material Removal: Ideal for general cutting of hard substrates like gemstones, ceramics, and metals.

• Durable Construction: Metal bond ensures long-term retention of diamond abrasives.

Applications:

• Lapidary Work: Fast shaping of cabochons and rough stones.

• Precision Machining: Efficient surface flattening for optical or semiconductor components.

• Industrial Cutting: Suitable for high-volume workflows requiring consistent performance.

Technical Advantages Over Regular Laps:

• Enhanced Contact: Textured "islands" maximize abrasive engagement.

• Coolant Compatibility: Optimized for wet grinding to reduce heat buildup.

• Interchangeability: Compatible with standard grinding machines and polishing systems.

Note: Hyperlinks align with lapidary, precision machining, and industrial cutting workflows, supporting artisans and engineers in achieving efficient, debris-free material processing.
