Small lapping plate made of cast iron. A piece of lead may be used as the lap, charged with emery, and used to cut a piece of hardened steel. The small plate shown in the first picture is a hand lapping plate. That particular plate is made of cast iron. In use, a slurry of emery powder would be spread on the plate and the workpiece simply ...
Granite surface plate calibration should be performed routinely to maintain proper flatness and ensure measurement accuracy over time. The intervals between calibrations depends on the environment where the surface plate is located. When needed, lapping or resurfacing is provided to bring measurements within grade guidelines.
A hand scraper is a single-edged tool used to scrape metal or other materials from a surface. This may be required where a surface needs to be trued, corrected for fit to a mating part, retain oil (usually on a freshly ground surface), or be given a decorative finish. Surface plates were traditionally made by scraping. [1]

Superfinishing, also known as microfinishing [1] and short-stroke honing, is a metalworking process that improves surface finish and workpiece geometry. This is achieved by removing just the thin amorphous surface layer of fragmented or smeared metal left by the last process with an abrasive stone or tape; this layer is usually about 1 μm in magnitude.
Also known simply as a pull lap, it is the basic form of the lap joint and is used when joining members end to end either parallel or at right angles.When the joint forms a corner, as in a rectangular frame, the joint is often called a corner lap.
Lapping is a machining process in which two surfaces are rubbed together with an abrasive between them. Lapping may also refer to: Lapping (magic), a set of techniques in conjuring; Lapping (motorsport), the act of passing someone who is one circuit behind; Lapping, the licking movement of an animal's tongue, usually for drinking
Sir Joseph Whitworth popularized the first practical method of making accurate flat surfaces during the 1830s, [2] using engineer's blue and scraping techniques on three trial surfaces, in what is known as Whitworth's three plates method. [3] By testing all three in pairs against each other, it is ensured that the surfaces become flat.
