Lapping in Surface Finishing

Flat Lapping is a technique that is being used since a long time ago. The person who first sharpened a stick by rubbing it with a stone covered with sand was the first one to discover the lapping process. Lapping is a basically a manufacturing process that is a precision engineering process used to provide flatness, parallelism, size and surface finishes to extremely demanding tolerances.
The process is a manufacturing method that removes particles of an abrasive material to remove stock from a surface. It is similar to sanding or grinding technique, except that sanding and grinding use abrasives which are fixed (bonded abrasives) whereas lapping employs abrasives which are suspended in a liquid carrier, and are free to move about. Lapping is sometimes referred to as 'Free Abrasive Machining' as many precision engineering companies are using the same technique with some alternative name.
Lapping can attain a flatness rating of one millionth of an inch (0.000001"), parallelism tolerances of ten millionths of an inch (.00001") and surface finishes to 0.6Ra, using special handling and tooling techniques. We can achieve tolerances at the limits of the lapping process (down to one millionth of an inch) on a case-by-case basis to provide extensive precision engineering services.
Abrading Methods can provide lapping, free abrasive machining, flat honing, fine grinding, polishing, burnishing, precision fine grinding as well as special deburring and cleaning techniques to process your flat surfaces.

8 Ways To Attract Great Candidates:
.jpg)
Online ads
- Online ads are cheap method of recruitment advertising.
- It is a fast way of advertising. You can have your ad up that same day and get applications coming in within hours. The bulk of online applications hit you within 24 hours.
- But be careful, if you advertise earlier in the week your ad will appear lower down in the search listings and may be missed.
- All job ad sites have great free articles to help you get the most out of your advertising, so check out the resource sections before you lodge your ad.
- Try and lodge your ad late on a Thursday or a Friday as most job seekers already employed will look at the vacancies listed over a weekend.

Recruitment agency
Recruitment agencies are very expensive but they can highlight hidden applicants.
Some tips for getting the best out of recruitment agents:
- Check the fine print. Agency fees vary and rules for payment differ. Make sure you know how much and when it is paid
- Check for a refund clause - if the person doesn't work out in the first month usually you get a free replacement (which is only good if there are a lot of candidates on their books)
- Give them a detailed brief about you and your company. The more they know the better the match. Invite them to visit your premises and meet key people to help give them visual clues about your job.

Newspaper ads
Newspaper ads used to be the only way to advertise vacancies.
Newspapers are quite an expensive form of advertising and are a very slow process.You need to select your paper carefully.
- If your job is unskilled, then the local papers are fine.
- If you are looking for a senior role then consider a state-wide paper. For more hard to fill or specialist roles, then look at advertising in a national publication.

Ask your employees
Asking your employees can be a very effective strategy,particularly if you offer them a "spotter's fee" for any candidate that gets employed and is retained after their probation. By having your employees recommend people to apply you also get more "buy in" from your employees to help settle the person into the team and make sure the person performs to the best of their ability. However, if you get no referrals from team members you may want to consider whether you are providing a great place to work as this is often an indicator of morale issues.

School career counsellors
School counsellors and University counsellors are a great way to attract student casuals as well as people who may be looking for a trainee-ship in the future.Your own newsletter or marketing material.If you have a newsletter or regular marketing material, you can advertise in their to your customer base.

Email your colleagues
- Let your colleagues know you have a vacancy and perhaps they have a suitable employee who wants to work.
- If you have an employee who is moving to a new area, take the initiative and ask their permission to contact your colleagues in that area on their behalf.

Check your applicants on file
Good applicants often submit applications "on speck". It pays to check in with all candidates who have contacted you from the past 3 months to see if they are interested in being considered for the role.
Use different channels
Like any other form of marketing you need to use a few different channels to get your message across. Don't limit yourself to just one strategy such as an online ad. Consider running a few different options to attract the best possible candidate for your vacancy.
