Permanent Diamond Matrix Lapping Solutions
Ablap manufactures diamond laps with diamonds permanently set in a hard, wear-resistant matrix — forming a single true plane of diamond points — for machine or hand lapping.
Engineered in Bradford, VT, our permanent matrix design eliminates messy loose abrasive slurries while delivering unmatched consistency across tight-tolerance optical, ceramic, and precision metal finishing applications.
Key Matrix Lapping Benefits
Hard & Soft Material Compatibility
Laps hard and soft materials alike without changing laps or matrix compositions.
Guaranteed Flatness & No Turned Edge
Finished flatness within one light band with no turned edge across entire workpieces.
Sub-Micro Surface Finishes
Consistently achieves surface finishes down to one micro-inch Ra.
Automatic Quality Control Indication
Visual and tactile feedback provides automatic quality control indication during lapping.
Zero Free Abrasive Loss
No free abrasives or diamond particle loss, eliminating contamination and loose grit embedment.
Minimal Lap Loading & Fast Cleaning
Minimal lap loading ensures fast, easy cleaning between operation cycles.
Wear-Resistant & No Dressing Required
Hard, wear-resistant surface with exceptionally long service life and absolutely no dressing.

Why Precision Engineers Choose ABLAP
Engineered specifically for machine and hand lapping applications where microns define success. We manufacture high-durability diamond plates with predictable wear resistance and uncompromising flatness.
Manufacturing Expertise
Over two decades of precision diamond matrix and plate production for demanding industrial clients.
Optical Flatness
Certified surface flatness verified across full diameter under monochromatic optical flat inspection.
Surface Finish
Ultra-fine metallurgical finish tolerances engineered for optical, semiconductor, and aerospace tooling.
Form & Matrix Specs
Bespoke diamond micron grading and substrate geometry configured for machine and hand lapping.
Repeatable flatness and minimal dressing downtime.
Standard cast iron or composite plates require continuous conditioning and high abrasive consumption. ABLAP permanent diamond matrix laps lock diamond particles securely into a rigid metallurgical substrate, eliminating slurry mess and providing sustained cutting action.
