Greg should split this topic off into its own thread.
I have a gauss meter. I have seen Monty match is magnets on a Triktrax machine out side the can and say they are matched. Hershman claims they must be done inside the can to be correct. They both have been successful motor blueprinters. But one has to be correct and one wrong, no? Lee Gilbert says is all BS? Swiss just stated, waste of time?
If you move the wand around the magnet, you will get dozens of different numbers. What should you use? How well the magnet makes contact with the can will change dramatically. We use some type of glue on the back side to hold in place, is there an optimum thickness of glue to use or doesn't matter? Zapping the magnets up to saturation will make a 12 click motor as opposed to a 6 click motor?
Guass is but one number to use, magnet mass also comes into play. Look at the PD motor, gausses pretty darn good, as well as a Mura or better but put a 12 arm in a PD and its a grenade motor, runs hot as hell. Run one all day in a C Can motor??
Why do some set-ups prefer a particular arm better than another? Why do motors built exactly the same with exactly the same reading parts run differently on different power?
So many questions, so few answers..................
