Lapping is a finishing operation, which falls in the category of precision machining process that employs loose abrasive with multi point sharp edges that provides the cutting action. Lapping operation is used to generate fine surface finish as well as geometry. It is a slow operation, whose purpose apart from achieving fine finish is to also refine form accuracy such as flatness. The surface quality achieved by lapping gets affected due to process parameters, if improperly controlled, provides highly inconsistent results. Operation parameters such as lapping load conditions, operating speed, abrasive grain size and hardness, specimen material, size and weight decides the material removal rate, surface roughness and quality. From the view point of achieving the most favorable outcomes, it is a major necessity to properly select the controlling parameters with proper operating conditions. This will reduce cost, time and provide required results. Such review will help in establishing the basis for any research study work in the similar direction.
