There’s lapping film, and there is lapping film 🙂
One of the advantages of lapping film is how smooth the seem to make the edges – because the abrasives come loose and they are not renewable.
The quality of the film and the abrasives it uses will determine how well they cut after the 1K WEPS diamond (roughly 14 microns), as we’ve seen in the compounds threads.
With that said, I think the problem here isn’t the films, but the stones leading up to and including the 1K WEPS diamond. Something I call “Underhoning”, which you can read more about here[/url].
Just out of curiosity, what brand of films are you using, and what are the abrasives on them?
Thanks!
