edge. Refer to page 39
Web Detection Screen   
•  To manually input the web thick-
ness, measure thickness of the web 
of the drill. Measure web thickness 
across two points of the chisel line 
with calipers 
•  Type in web thickness, including 
decimal point. The web thickness, 
manually entered, will appear on the 
Main Screen “WEB THICKNESS” Selec-
tor button and will disable the auto 
mode.
NOTE: If you enter a number outside the ca-
pability range of the sharpener, the setting 
will default to the nearest MIN/MAX web 
thickness for that specific diameter of drill. 
Cutting Edge Advance Button 
•  Located within the Web Detection Screen is 
the “ADVANCE” button. Using this feature may 
be necessary when the drills cutting edge 
aligns incorrectly. To compensate for incorrect 
cutting edge alignment, you can 
manually advance the cutting 
edge using the “ADVANCE” but-
ton . This may be necessary when 
sharpening drills with a hooked 
cutting edge
. Refer to page 39 
Manual Align Button 
•  This feature allows you to bypass the 
fiber optic sensor alignment process. Measure 
and enter the web thickness of the drill, if you 
do not enter the web thickness, the value will 
default to the minimum web thickness value 
within that range. If the diameter detec-
tion is in Auto, the web thickness value 
will default to the minimum once the 
diameter has been detected. Touch the 
Auto button in web detection, the Man-
ual Align button will come up. Touch 
Save. Align and the web thickness will 
appear in the icon on the main page. 
Insert the drill with the cutting edge at 12 
o’clock. Tighten chuck & press cycle start. 
Hone Selector
•  With each touch of the icon 
you will bring up the next 
honing option. You have 3 
options: Hone, No Hone or Hone Only
NOTE: Factory default is “NO HONE”. 
•  Select “HONE” when sharpening carbide 
drills. Honing the carbide cutting edge 
greatly influences tool life and the accu-
racy of the fi
nished surface. The length 
of hone time is adjustable. The longer the 
drills cutting edge remains in the honing cycle, 
the larger the radius produced on the cutting 
edge. Refer to page 53. Go to the Hone 
Timing Adjustment Screen in the Tools, 
Maintenance and Offset screen to make 
honing time adjustments. Refer to page 31
•  Select “NO HONE” when sharpening 
High Speed Steel or Cobalt drills. 
•  Select “HONE ONLY” when only honing 
drills. Grinding and Splitting will be dis-
abled.
Grind Selector 
•  With each touch of the button 
you will bring up the next point 
style option. The
re are 2 point 
style options: Conic or Facet 
NOTE: Factory default is “CONIC”. 
•  “CONIC” – This radial/cone style grind is 
known as a conventional point
 and used 
through out the machine tool industry. A lip 
clearance of 12° to 15° at the periphery of the 
drill, increasing constantly toward the center, 
is considered standard for the average 
class of work. 
•  “FACET” – Multi faceted drill points 
consist of a separate cutting lip (primary) 
and secondary heel clearance (relief) facet. 
The multi-faceted drill requires 150% less 
thrust and produces 70% less heat than a 
conventional drill.
•  The width of the primary facet is determined 
by the thickness of the drills web and cannot 
be changed. If your drill has a thin web, we do 
not recommend a facet point style. The width
