Abstract
A core chip for a magnetic head core slider, including a first and a second core member which are bonded together so as to define a coil-winding aperture. The two core members cooperate to provide a gap-forming portion defining a magnetic gap on one side of the coil-winding aperture, and a cut-off portion provided adjacent to the gap-forming portion. The cut-off portion is removed by grinding at the top surface to establish the nominal depth of the magnetic gap. The cut-off portion has a distance marker which extends from the top surface down to the gap-forming portion and which has an end portion adjacent to the gap-forming portion. The end portion is shaped so as to indicate a distance between the top surface and the gap-forming portion, that is, the depth of the magnetic gap, when the cut-off portion is removed to provide a sliding surface of the core chip in which the magnetic gap is open. Also disclosed is a process of fabricating the magnetic head core slider using the core chip.
