Overview
The 3M™ Diamond Lapping Film 661X is a precision abrasive film engineered for polishing fiber optic connectors and flat lapping applications. Featuring tightly graded 0.5 micron diamond mineral uniformly coated on a durable 3 mil polyester film backing, this film cuts and polishes hard ceramic ferrules and glass fibers at consistent rates to achieve a superior surface finish. The standard resin system provides stable, repeatable results throughout the life of the product — no slurry required.
