How important is a stylus force scale? do you all have one?

The answer is yes, it's very important.
You can bet that anyone here that has fitted their own cartridge, has a way of accurately setting the tracking force.

An alignment protractor is also important 👍

alright! but the alignment protactor can be aligned with a piece of paper and a straight line painted right?

Just buy a real one. They're only a few bucks and the accuracy will be spot on. 👌

A nice cheap mirrored protector will also help if VTA needs adjustment, always useful and do not cost much.
