Generally, yes, they don't need to be retuned. I have not had to touch
mine over 2 years, once I got them the way I wanted them. Commercial
spares for specific machines are usually preset at the factory and are
never touched by service techs. IF they have to be put on a machine
with different motors or table loads, then they may need retuning.
