ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of the present invention pertain to a evaluating the quality of a lapping plate. In one embodiment, an information receiver receives information while the lapping plate is being used to lap a slider. The information indicates the quality of a lapping plate. A quality determiner that evaluates the quality of the lapping plate based on the information while the lapping plate is being used to lap the slider.
