Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing a magnetic head in which a workpiece having a plurality of magnetic heads is lapped on a lapping plate, the method comprising: attaching firmly a workpiece holding device for installing said workpiece to an angle adjustment mechanism and attaching firmly a reciprocating motion drive unit mounting said angle adjustment mechanism to a bridge provided so as to stride said lapping plate, to enhance rigidity between a surface of said workpiece to be lapped and a surface of said lapping plate; and during the time when the surface of said workpiece to be lapped is lapped by using at least the reciprocating motion of said workpiece or the rotating motion of said lapping plate, keeping substantially constant an angle between the surface of said workpiece and the surface of said lapping plate in said angle adjustment mechanism so as to lap said workpiece.
