Lapping machines are a type of precision finishing machine. Lapping is a loose abrasive machining process that differs from honing or grinding because the abrasive action comes not from a solid abrasive (like a grinding wheel) but from a slurry--abrasive particles mixed with oil or water.

Define Lapping: The term "lapping" is used to describe a number of various surface finishing operations where loose abrasive powders are used as the grinding ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapping
Lapping is a machining process in which two surfaces are rubbed together with an abrasive between them, by hand movement or using a machine.

Lapping often follows other subtractive processes with more aggressive material removal as a first step, such as milling and/or grinding.

The correct word for this abrasion surface finishing operation is "lapeado" and not "lapidado", though its an Anglicism not in RAE dictinonary. Thus, the machine is a "lapeadora" and not "lapidadora". Therefore, the correct translation into English is "lapping machine", as indicated by Taña Dalglish. You can check https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapeado

neutral  Taña Dalglish: Lapidary relates to the engraving, cutting, or polishing of stones and gems, but this is not the meaning in this case. // As I said above, it is a "lapping machine" https://tureng.com/en/spanish-english/lapidadora. Context has nothing to do with gemstones
