4-Facet Overlap Adjust Procedure
Past Center To Center Below Center
NOTE: The XPS-16 is designed to create the 4-
Facet point with little or no facet overlap. Each
machine is adjusted during factory calibration to
have a facet overlap of 0.000” to 0.0025”. How-
ever, adjustment can be made through the cali-
bration parameters of the machine. Hence, care
must be taken to use these instructions carefully
when one wants to modify the facet overlap.
The user will be making changes that will affect
the drill geometry of all drills.
1. From the Main menu, press the “Tools” icon
in the lower right hand corner.
2. Press the icon in the third row.
The number showing is the factory value deter-
mined during calibration (Write it down).
To reduce facet overlap, the Stick-out parameter
needs to increase (start with 0.005”to 0.010”).
To increase facet overlap, the Stick-out parame-
ter needs to decrease (start with the same incre-
ment).
3. Type in a Stick-out value that is larger or
smaller than the one shown and press the “Disk”
icon.
4. Press the “X” icon twice to get to the Main
menu.
5. Sharpen a test drill without splitting and
check the facet overlap. If it needs more adjust-
ment go to step 1 and repeat through step 5. If
the facet overlap is satisfactory, then the Stick-
out parameter should be saved in a drill file. Note: When the machine is powered off and
then on again, the stick out parameter is reset to
the calibration value in the Darex file.
