  • Helps achieve a smoother, more consistent surface finish
  • Extends the working life of diamond abrasives

What this fluid does

This diamond lapping fluid works as a lubricant and carrier for abrasive particles. It reduces friction and heat while helping diamond grit cut cleanly and evenly. By preventing debris build-up, it allows sharpening stones and lapping plates to perform more consistently and deliver improved results.

Typical uses

How to use

  1. Ensure the stone or plate is clean before application.
  2. Apply a small amount of lapping fluid evenly across the surface.
  3. Carry out sharpening or lapping using light, controlled passes.
  4. Add more fluid only as needed to maintain a thin lubricating film.
