Hey all,
I've been scrolling for a few days and not finding anything recent that I actually care to comment on so I thought I would start my own post with a question for you all.
How often do you check the calibration your machine? Things to include in response: Type of machine, and reasoning behind calibration frequency.
Personally, I string on a Baiardo. I check the calibration/calibrate once a month, every time I move the machine, or every time I power the machine down. Whichever comes first. My machine stays on 24/7 if I am not traveling to string a tournament or we are not having storms that have made the power go out. The only time I turn it off when I am going to be home is this time of year when we get almost daily evening storms that make the power flicker. Other than that, I usually only turn it off to move it or if I will be out of town longer than 3 days. Most often my checks and calibrations are monthly or after moving the machine. Mine tends to stay within a tenth of a kilo all the time and I rarely have to actually recalibrate the machine.
