Patriot Calibration 

 
 

 

The Patriot was designed for easy calibration. Upon power-up, loosen the large 
angle set knob at the back of the head. Depress the dop holder to its most downward 
position. At this point, the pivot block will come in contact with a calibration set 
screw. Gently hold the dop arm against the setscrew and depress the 
calibration/zero set lever switch, located on the right side of the control box. The 
display should reset to zero. 

 
 

 

This feature can also be used to “cut to zero”. After completing the procedure 
above, move the dop arm to the desired cut angle. Tighten the angle set knob. Press 
the calibration/zero set lever switch. The display will reset to zero. As you approach 
the desired cut angle, the display will approach zero. You can cut to the zero mark 
or stop short to allow for polishing to bring the facet in to the desired angle. 

 

 

The proper method to set the desired cut angle is to move the dop arm upward as 
described in “B” above. Stop short of the desired angle and tighten the angle set 
knob. (Fig 1). Turn the angle set fine adjust knob (Fig. 1) clockwise until the 
display just clicks up to the desired angle.  Note the position of the needle on the 
dial indicator. Rotate the outer bezel on the dial indicator so that the needle in now 
on the last number of the digital display. Continue turning the small black fine 
adjustment knob until you reach the desired 100's digit. 

Most cutting patterns only specify 1/10 degree settings. This 
paragraph is only applicable if 1/100 degree angles are 
required.
