3M 7010360180 Diamond Lapping Film Disc 5 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7010360180 is a diamond lapping film disc engineered for precision surface finishing on extremely hard materials. The disc uses precisely graded diamond particles coated onto a polyester film substrate, delivering a consistent, repeatable finish across each use. Available in grades ranging from 0.10 to 30.0 micron, it suits a wide range of finishing requirements from aggressive material removal to fine polishing. At 5 inches in diameter, it fits standard lapping and polishing equipment used by machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and precision finishing specialists. The low unit weight of 0.01 pounds keeps handling straightforward in production environments.

This disc is suited for lapping and polishing operations on hard substrates such as carbide, ceramics, hardened steel, optical components, and similar materials where conventional abrasives lose effectiveness. It is commonly used in precision manufacturing, toolroom finishing, fiber optic connector polishing, and related applications where surface geometry and finish consistency are critical. The disc format makes it practical for both manual lapping plates and machine-driven setups.

Key Features

• Precisely graded diamond particles ensure uniform finish across the entire disc surface
• Polyester film backing provides dimensional stability for flat surface and sharp edge results
• Available in multiple micron grades from 0.10 to 30.0 micron to cover roughing through fine finishing
• Fast cut rate supports increased throughput compared to conventional lapping films
• 5 inch diameter fits common lapping plate and polishing fixture configurations

Compatibility

Designed for use on extremely hard materials including carbide, ceramics, hardened metals, and optical substrates where consistent, repeatable surface finishing is required.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of lapping film discs is typically performed by machinists or precision finishing technicians. Secure the disc firmly to the lapping plate or backing fixture before use to prevent slipping or uneven wear. Always match the micron grade to the required finish sequence, starting with coarser grades and progressing to finer grades as needed. Inspect the disc for loading or wear and replace when finish consistency degrades.
