I completely disagree with this statement - and my opinion has nothing to do with selling torque meters.

Kody, it is really not very important to calibrate one. The importance
of a torque meter is in reading your rubber. If a motor breaks at a 1.0
reading once it will usually break at that torque regularly. It also
lets you see when the motor is approaching max winds as the torque begins
to climb rapidly.
There is a plan circulating showing the details of a Cezar Banks meter
that can be made with just a little effort - I could send it to you if
you can't find it.
