To set overhang directly, the stylus needs to be placed on a the line through centre of the arm pivot and the platter spindle. Many arms do not allow enough movement to do this.Moreover, for an arm with head-shell slots, to set overhang directly, you need to know the mounting distance (ie distance from platter spindle to centre of arm pivot). This should be measured, and the overhang calculated using the formula below. The manufacturers data is often (usually) unreliable.
Overhang = Sqrt(Lm^2 + N1*N2) - Lm ( ^2 means squared, * means multiplied by)
N1, N2 = inner and outer null radii respectively
Lm = mounting distance.
But you are right, if it is possible to set overhang firstly, it makes things easier, as there is no need to go back and forth between alignment points.
