ELECTROPLATED CBN CENTER LAPS

CBN Electroplated Center Laps

CBN (Cubic Boron Nitride) electroplated center laps are precision tools used for lapping, grinding, and polishing the center holes of workpieces—typically in applications where concentricity and high accuracy are critical. The electroplated bond process fixes a single layer of CBN abrasive onto the tool’s steel body, giving it sharp cutting edges, high stock removal rates, and long tool life.

Key Features:

• Abrasive: CBN (ideal for hardened steels, tool steels, high-speed steels, bearing steels, and other ferrous alloys).

• Bond: Electroplated single-layer bond provides aggressive cutting and precise geometry.

• Form: Designed as small-diameter laps for finishing and correcting center holes.

• Accuracy: Maintains excellent roundness, straightness, and surface finish.

• Cooling: Can be used dry or with coolant depending on application.

Applications:

• Precision lapping and sizing of center holes in workpieces.

• Used in grinding centers, cylindrical grinders, and lathes where accurate center holes are critical for subsequent machining.

• Especially useful in bearing, automotive, aerospace, and tool manufacturing.

Advantages:

• Maintains sharp cutting action throughout its life.

• Produces highly concentric and polished center holes.

• Reduced dressing requirements compared to resin or vitrified laps.

• Long service life due to CBN’s wear resistance.
