Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Digest Number 4217

Lapping, by putting a compound between the sliding parts and moving them
back and forth is nothing less that accelerating the wear on the
machine. You improve nothing, you just wear it out, exactly as is going
to happen over its life.

Lapping (or scraping) the parts with respect to some master surface
known to be flat and true could make an improvement.

Why do people continue to refer to using lapping compound to accelerate
the wear as lapping?
