My gem cutting teachers never told us about this

Most probably your gem cutting teacher has no clue how to do it himself.

How often do you have to do this? I always realign the mast using the alignment bar between stones, but I’ve never done this before.

Could you make a video ab recalibration the cheater?? If there isn't one already 😊thank you

Actually you as a professional gem cutter, you should have a finger indicator to set or calibrate you digital angle. Just by putting the finger indicator down on the table, and going up and down to a certain distance and adjusting the angle will make your machine a 100% dead zero. Relying on a block and light from behind and looking to see when the gap is closed is just one and almost non precision method. It does work, but for gem stones?? NO I do not think that is the best way. Buy A finger dial indicator with magnetic base and see the result. By the way I am not a gem stone cutter because I have no money to buy the machine which I love to buy, but I am an aerospace machinist for 30 years and I work with military standard measurements. (+ - .0004) in MM. By the way that block you are using is called Guage block which comes in different sizes.
