I agree with John here. The calibration of your meter only applies to your program. Once you break a motor at a given torque then that's the upper limit as displayed on your equipment. .46 on Spencer's meter is equivalent to .40 on Parker's. They each know where to wind to and where to back off to on their individual meters. Spencer broke his at the WC and had to switch to my digital one and we had to break a couple motors so he could see where to wind to. But if you want to talk specifics of torque...talk to Leo:))))))
