In a lapping jig 20 for polishing optical fibre 11, the optical fibre 11 within probe 10 is held in contact with an abrasive 13 at a pressure determined by weights 18 in the body 17 of the jig 20. The abrasive surface 13 and support surface 15 are completely separated preventing contamination of the abrasive by debris from the wear of supports 26. The body 17 of the jig 20 holding the fibre 11 is moveable with respect to the abrasive 13 while maintaining the attitude and pressure between the optical fibre 11 and abrasive 13. <IMAGE> |
