While all M1 Caliber Measuring Tools come with a factory calibration, an onsite calibration is recommended when first receiving the M1 to ensure the most accurate cuts possible are made that match a specific tape measure. Tape measures may vary based on manufacturer and class rating making it essential that a calibration is performed to match specific tape measure blade printing. The following procedure allows the M1 to accurately convert rotary motion of the wheel to linear measurements that exactly match a specific tape measure.
The above video will walk you through the steps necessary to perform a calibration on your M1 tool.
For a written description of all of the above steps, please visit our calibration support article here:

If you are having trouble obtaining an accurate calibration, see trouble shooting steps in below article:

I just opened my unit up and tried to get it up & running based on the instructions. I must say the instructions for set up need some work, as they are not very clear to Calibrate the tool. From the video I now have a better understanding of how to make the Calibration. It is now clear to me that the unit I have, I can now do a proper set up. Thanks for the YT info.

@REEKONTools 3 года назад

Thanks Tony for the feedback, glad to hear you are calibrated and we are always working to improve our instructions and printed information to be as useful as possible.

@DerSkaBoss 3 года назад

Helpful video, thanks. My kneejerk reaction to getting it set up is also that the quick start guide is not incredibly intuitive. In particular the "hold the first two buttons and click the 3rd while not letting go of the other two" bit was aggravating

@NixPix87 2 года назад

Mine never goes into calibration mode. You press the first two together and click the third as instructed and all it does is go to 00 but not ZERO. so as soon as I slide the piece down it starts measuring. So far I’ve just lost an hour and gained frustration.

I love this product. Wish I could use it more.

2 meter are 2000 mm not 200 (would be cm) - metric system is simple, just get used to the unit prefixes: milli = 1/1000

@christopherdekonstrukt444 Год назад

Unfortunately I had to return mine today to Lowes. I only have 60" to the right of my saw blade and can't move my saw table without an incredible effort as it's custom made. Hopefully a newer revision will come out that doesn't require 6' of distance from the blade to calibrate. Thank you.

@davidm2645 Год назад

Does the tape measure step take the place of inputting blade thickness (offset)?

how do you know when the tape is flipped

@fs5273 2 года назад

Yea now after that how do u keep it ready to cut? After I calibrate I lift arm up to remove the material and go back to feeding it for my first cut and I get it to the saw blade and it saws 6in

@REEKONTools 2 года назад

Once you touch the saw blade you should zero the M1 indicating a new cut is being made and then slide to your cut position. You should also be sure that your blade offset is accounted for as well.

@jimvaughn6071 Год назад

Just to clarify, once it is initially calibrated I can remove when not using without having to re-calibrate?

@shrimpinpat 9 месяцев назад

I’d imagine no because it would be in a different spot and thus distance from the blade? I don’t own it and couldn’t tell you if I was right.

Why when I press the two left button doesn’t calibrate

@corpjesters 2 года назад

Agree that the written guide is muddled and difficult to get a clear and basic 1,2,3 setup for calibration. Mine keeps saying ⅛” when I zero the unit after calibration. I have no idea what’s going on, and it’s WAY off accurate by as much as a 1/16” with every cut. It’s driving me nuts.

Hello, have you set your blade offset to a value? Send us an email at contact@reekon.tools and wed be happy to assit in getting spot on measurements!

Well after an hour I finally figured it out I ordered a new Reekon rail but found out you don’t need them ,there is a list you can look at which tells you what saws are ready for the tool.

@jacobchild4992 2 года назад

I cannot for the life of me get it into calibration mode. It either turns off/on, or displays flip. Any ideas to what could be happening?

@REEKONTools 2 года назад

Hey Jacob, are you starting with the device powered off? Also, are you holding the zero and units button firmly and then only clicking the power button once, then releasing (while holding the other two)?

@Karl-no1tl 2 года назад

It’s too bad the M1 doesn’t have a function that allows you, after zeroing to the left side of the blade, to simply move the workpiece to the right side of the blade and hit the blade button to calibrate for blade thickness. Seems a little clunky to have to input it numerically. Especially if it’s an old blade and you don’t own callipers to measure it accurately. Also it was only after watching this video that I could figure out how to enter the calibration mode. The written instructions leave a lot to be desired.

@REEKONTools 2 года назад

Hey Karl, thanks for the feedback. We are always looking to improve our product features and directions that come with it. While we did consider that method for the blade offset, we found it generally less accurate than measuring the blade separately, even if only using a tape measure. Glad you were able to get things figured out and feel free to send us an email if you have any other issues - contact@reekon.tools

@johnbrooks3937 Год назад

Thanks for the video.may as well not put instructions in the box as they make no sense at all. This video was a lot helpful

My unit keeps saying flip

@REEKONTools 2 года назад

Hi Tim, "FLIP" appears on the screen after holding the zero button for 10 seconds and is used when the M1 is mounted on the right side of the saw. If you are having trouble, please send us an email at contact@reekon.tools and we would be happy to help!

@jesperwiese4350 Год назад

Just set up the rekoon. when i set up the saw blade thickness as advertised ⅛ and do a zero cut the cut ends up being ⅛ longer than it should be! How do you fix that

@schwartzmatthewe 2 года назад

It would be great if it actually worked this way. I’ve done this step to calibrate over and over and the unit won’t go into calibration mode.

Next time have somebody who speaks in a clear voice and not monotone. It's not easy to hear somebody like this on a job site that's noisy when you don't have your directions handy. Also this method DOES NOT make up for blade width... its always an 1/8th shy. get your water checked for lead...

Stupid thing requires the worlds tallest saw fence. Cant even find one for my two miter saws. What a waste

@REEKONTools 2 года назад

Hello, the M1 Caliber Adapter Fence can be used if you saw fence isn't directly compatible!

@1927Scavengers Год назад

I have a rigid mitre saw. The fence is higher on the one side. Where it’s reekon attaches. So with that you can’t slide a thin piece to cut cause the measuring wheel sits about and inch and a half above the deck.
