3M 7010307693 Diamond Lapping Film 6.0 Micron Sheet

Product Description

The 3M 7010307693 is a diamond lapping film sheet engineered for precision surface finishing and material removal in demanding trade and industrial applications. Measuring 8.50 inches x 8.50 inches, this sheet is rated at 6.0 micron and uses a higher diamond concentration combined with a stronger resin bond compared to standard diamond lapping films. The result is increased durability and a faster cut rate, making it well suited for finishing hard materials such as ceramics, carbide, glass, and optical components. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, fiber optic splice technicians, and precision fabricators are the typical end users.

This diamond lapping film is used in applications requiring controlled, repeatable stock removal or surface refinement on hard substrates. Common use cases include fiber optic connector polishing, precision lapping of carbide tooling, ceramic components, and hard coatings. The 6.0 micron grade is positioned as a mid-range cut step in a progression sequence, typically used after coarser removal stages and before finer finishing grades. It is suited for both wet and dry lapping operations depending on the substrate and the finish requirement.

Key Features

• Higher diamond concentration for increased cut rate versus standard diamond lapping film
• Stronger resin bond for added durability and extended sheet life
• 6.0 micron abrasive grade for mid-range stock removal and surface refinement
• 8.50 inches x 8.50 inches sheet format fits flat lapping plates and hand lapping fixtures
• Available in a range of micron grades: 0.50, 1.0, 1.50, 3.0, 6.0, and 9.0 micron

Compatibility

Designed for use as a precision lapping sheet on flat lapping plates, backing films, and hand lapping fixtures where a 8.50 inches x 8.50 inches sheet format is required.

Installation Notes

Secure the lapping film flat against a clean, rigid lapping plate or backing surface before use to prevent fold or buckling that can affect surface finish results. Inspect the sheet for contamination or tears before each use, as embedded debris can introduce scratches on the workpiece. Follow the material manufacturer and shop safety guidelines for handling abrasive films, including eye protection when working with loose abrasive particles. Dispose of worn sheets per facility waste handling procedures.
