GL422 calibration

I purchased a new Spectra GL422 this spring to use on my ditching projects. I noticed some off numbers when checked against my old laser so I checked calibration. My new laser is within specs but barely. I'm currently cutting .05% so I need this unit to be as close as possible.

Does anyone know the calibration procedure for a GL422? My old CTS/Berger explains it in the manual but it seems like Spectra wants me to bring it to a service provider which is 2+ hours one-way. If this is the case, Spectra products will be getting ZERO stars in all of my reviews.

Thanks in advance for any info.

The reason Spectra wants you to bring it in to a dealer for service is because they have certified techs that do these calibrations/repairs and stand behind their work. I understand that it being 2 hours away is an issue. We use our local Cat dealer to transfer items to and from different dealers in our territory to save our customers time and trouble. Did you buy it from a local dealer or from a website like Tiger Supply?

Thanks for the reply.

I bought it online somewhere. Could have been Tiger.

I'm not a fan of techs. Most are good but I always end up with the duds. I am very capable of calibrating a laser amongst many other things. I like to do these critical checks and repairs on all of my equipment myself because it is my name/business on the line if it is not done correctly. I'll guarantee they wouldn't stand behind a $50,000 re-grade job if their newly calibrated laser was at fault. If I feel a job is beyond my comprehension, I'll gladly pass it off to a qualified person.

It is working for what I need it to do but unfortunately that will be the reason to not go with their product for my next purchase.
