Issues with repeatability

Alright, so I asked this once before, but with some rediriecting and checking (that and posting in the correct forum) I feel I may have a better shot at getting this figured out now. I am using a RA-7525 portable CMM. The issue is that I will take hits on the same part and not get the same reading twice, even when reading gauge blocks. The dimensions will very sometimes as much as .25" or more... My dads old stanely measuring tape is more precise than that. I've played around with the different heads (we have a 3mm, 6mm, and center finder), and still no improvments. I performed a cone test and got a min deviation around .124 and max of .245. Any possible ideas on what could be worng? Is this machine error at this point or is it still human error as my boss thinks?

    1. talk to your trainer. send him/her the code.
    2. post the code here.
