Abstract
Abstract A method of producing a magnetic disk by lapping a magnetic disk medium, comprising the steps of: preparing a lapping tape having an abrasive particle layer provided with abrasive particle clusters and chip pockets formed between adjacent two clusters, each of said clusters having abrasive particles of Al 2 O 3 or SiC and abrasive particles of diamond, lapping the surface of said magnetic disk medium by using the thus prepared lapping tape.
