Yeah, the one I own seems to be pretty close on the mark for front hubs (100mm), but off a bit for a 120mm rear and off even more for 130mm+. I've looked at the device from every angle and can't find anything about it that should cause this error. I even bought a calibration tool especially for the TS-2, but it only works to center the front hub. Therefore, as you say, I use a dishing tool for every wheel built and centered. Once an accurate center has been established using the dishing tool, the amount of error in the stand's jaws can be taken into consideration on a going forward basis.
