While all M1 Caliber Tools come with a factory calibration, an onsite calibration is recommended when first
receiving the M1 to ensure the most accurate cuts possible and match your specific tape measure. Tape
measures may vary based on manufacturer and class rating making it essential that a calibration is performed
to match the specific tape measure blade printing. The following procedure allows the M1 to accurately convert
rotary motion of the wheel to linear measurement that exactly match a specific tape measure. The following
demonstration is made using wood but any material may be used should it meet the proper requirements and
should match what you plan to most frequently cut with the M1 Caliber in order to ensure the most robust
calibration.
For best experience, we recommend viewing our calibration video on YouTube -
Before beginning the calibration procedure, please ensure the following:
● The M1 is powered off
● The M1 is properly secured to the fence
● A flat, smooth, and straight piece of material at least 8 feet (2.5m) is available to use
● A trusted tape measure, at least 8 feet (2.5m) long, that will be commonly used, is available
● A sharp tip pencil or pen is available to make a mark
