The Ryzen 7000 Lapping Tool was developed for grinding the heat spreaders of the AM5 processor series from AMD. The tolerances of the Ryzen 7000 Lapping Tool allow gradual grinding of the heat spreader by 0.4 millimetres, up to a total height of 1.6 millimetres. When using the normal AMD mounting frame (SAM), a maximum sanding of 1.0 mm is provided until the middle steps are reached. A further 0.6 mm is only possible if the CPU is mounted e. g. with a suitable AM5 Contact Frame (product to follow shortly). The steps of the AM5 Lapping Tool are diamond-milled to achieve a high degree of transparency.
This makes it visible during grinding which steps have already been reached and which have not.
