  "I am asked the question in many seminars 'what do you recommend for recall frequencies on calibrations'? The answer can be very simple yet extremely complex. The simple answer is this-I will not recommend any frequency on your recall system. I also do not recommend that a calibration laboratory suggest recall frequencies for you either. Why? Because you are responsible for any product that may have been measured and accepted using the instrument that just failed calibration. It would not be fair to have someone else suggest how often to calibrate your gages when you are the one who has the best understanding of the gages use and the conditions under which it is being used..."

Still, the form machine is only as good as its setup, and without due attention to the basics, there are many pitfalls that can make even the most basic measurement useless. In this column, we’ll highlight some of the most common problems. Erroneous Staging—As with any dimensional check, unless a part is staged correctly, unwanted errors are apt to appear in the measurement results. A three-jaw chuck is often used to stage a workpiece, but using one on a thin-walled part may introduce a three-lobed condition in the measurement. Likewise, special clamping may be needed to stabilize a tall, narrow part..."
