    Default Hand lapping for parallel?

    Can anyone recommend some reading on hand lapping to achieve parallel planes/faces?

    Hi,

    I think most engineering text books probably go through describing the process of making flat surfaces by lapping. The three plate method is one that I've seen described a number of times. Other include internal and external laps for tubes and rods.

    Try:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapping

    as a start.
    Best Regards:

    Tom Lipton - Oxtools - has a few ewe-tube vids on lapping and laps.
