 After you dial in the desired angle on the digital protractor of the Facetron, the dial indicator stop system shows you the exact stopping point. The dial indicator stop system consists of a new hard stop and dial indicator for dependable and accurate depth of cuts. You have three options. you can use dial indicator as dial stop only, hard stop only or both.
The dial indicator resolution is .0005 of inch increments.
The smaller indicator inside the middle of the dial is a revolution counter and has no impact on your cutting. Your machine is factory preset so that your desired angle will be met when the indicator needle reaches zero, which is factory preset at a 12 o'clock position.
Calibration:
One of the beauties of this dial indicator system is that you can fine-tune
or calibrate your head yourself.
Step 1: Set your protractor to 45 degrees and place the 45-degree
table dop in the dop chuck.
Step 2: Using a fine, flat lap set table dop flat on lap surface.
Adjust hard stop and also the height adjustment on mast until the 45-degree
table dop continually stops flat on lap.
Step 3: Adjusting dial indicator. Two options:
The new dial indicator stop system consists of a new hard stop
and also the dial indicator for dependable and accurate depth of cuts.
You have three options: you can use dial indicator as:
-
Dial stop only
-
Hard stop only
-
Or both
(a) Factory preset method: With the hard stop already set at 45
degrees, loosen set screw in back of aluminum body and slide dial indicator
all the way down, then slide it up until zero is at the 12 o'clock position,
then retighten set screw but not too tight as to hinder dial indicator
movement.
(b) Good for fine tuning machine: Adjust bezel on indicator by
turning clockwise or counter-clockwise.

Micro-height Adjustment... makes it easy to go back to any facet after the dop has been removed from the dop chuck. No numbers to write down. It's quick and simple. This feature is particularly
helpful in production faceting or when sharing your machine. The Facetron
can roll back to any facet by setting the angle the stone was cut at on
the digital protractor and reading the dial indicator.
