you might be surprised.
What this thing purports to be able to do is show you the simultaneous runout in both radial and lateral dimensions
so with practice you can identify the ONE SINGLE SPOKE that will affect both dimensions. And that spoke will be a tension outlier
Ric Hjertberg (Wheel Fanatyk) spends quite a lot of time in his wheelbuilding class discussing this exact phenomenon. It is truly the next quantum leap in wheel building and for automated systems, it is the key to tension uniformity and speed of production.
