The best way to calibrate a grader is to have a completely level concrete pad and not turn it around but calibrate it twice in the same exact position.

It sounds like you know what your talking about! Do you like Top Con or Trimbal? Cat or Deere, or Komatsu?

I've been using Trimble for years now and like it very much. The topcon is great too in slope control, but I've never used a Topcon GPS system. As far as graders go I do love a John Deere for it's power and torque. The hydraulic response is very clean and crisp while doing fine grading. The Cat M series, I'm like a ninja in them and have developed a very good muscle memory in the minute corrections in the steering. I've trained myself over the years to do the hardest thing to master, steering! Even driving home or to work I'd concentrate on my steering. Once you can master it and learn to completely focus you can feel when you're doing something wrong or wasting a pass. But anyways calibration in my view on a leveled pad is the best way to match your blade edges for slope control. I've used the old No.2 slope meters but you make a finished pass turn around and drive back onto it and it's different! That used to frustrate me to no end until I figured out it's all about tool pressure on the grade and how hard I was cutting. I could go on and on but I have work tomorrow. Just ask if you have any questions. TTYL
