I'm a firm believer that it's the Artist, not the brush that makes the painting.

Thanks for the reply. I have exactly machine like in the video, this garman machine truing, radonaut-siemens. I have a dishing tools from park tool, when i use the dishing tool, the wheel is perfect centered, but when i put the wheel in the machine, tells me cuz is a little offset. Of course the machine is wrong. I need to offset wheel at 0 somehow and after truing the wheel, cuz i can't triung the wheel if it's offset on the screen. When it's centered on the machine it's not centered on dish tools or on bike. I hope you understand me. Sorry for my english. I know it's bad. Thank you very much.

It sounds like a configuration issue. I don't see in the video clip where/how one inputs data like the over locknut dimension, or rim width.
As I said, all that SHOULD be automatic as the machine has a roller on both sides of the rim, and both sides of the axle.
It could also be a Calibration issue. So, the machine does everything, but just needs calibrated.
Contact the manufacturer.

Hi. I own this device and I have some issues with it. please help me
at first when I used it it worked decently, but after a while it started to cause problems, not to see the sensors, when I attach the wheel to the device it doesn't see any sensor, neither the one from the hub, nor radial and axial, practically the stand cannot be used. I sent an email to ra-co service a few weeks ago and no one answered. I think it's something from the settings, but I don't know what to do with it. I can't attach pictures of the problem because I'm new here, please if you know how to help me, because I don't know what else to do. thanks a lot

I liked how the technician turned just one spoke about a quarter turn, then later a half turn on another, and one more spoke with a half turn. Done! It's that easy!!

Thanks for this thread. These Gizmos are super nice and bring me to understand new facts.
Not long ago I was buying a complete Wheel Set for what would now be the cost of a Hub. Well I am showing my age and I don't think money will be worth any more then it is now no matter what we do. The other thing is, often when you pay someone to do a job they are not doing it any better then you could or would.
So considering the cost of truing, replacing, and by economic necessity, building my wheels, I am going to have to invest or build a real Wheel Truing Stand.
And here I was thinking I was getting fancy when I got my Spoke Tension Meter... Ha
