Scales

[Gregor]

Couldn't dig up any recent threads on this. Can anyone recommend a cheap accurate digital scale for measuring discs?

EatSmart Precision Pro Digital Kitchen Scale, I got it on Amazon for 20 bucks and it works for food and discs quite well.

ebay. any of the scales on there will work, it's just a matter of if you want it to the nearest gram, or tenth of a gram, or hundredth of a gram.

A_P, Is there ever a thread where you are not one of the first people to post on?

 

[agent_peebody]

there's gotta be a few (i hope :\)

i don't post in the course design area

For measuring discs, yeah, I gotcha.

E-bay is full of scales for around $10 that will measure ounces and grams. The one I have is kind of small, so I have to put the disc on a cup so I can see the display. You can zero the scale with the cup on it, so you don't have to do any math! It works great. It fits in my pocket and you could even take it in a store when selecting discs to verify the weight.

Heh, heh. Yeah, that's it.

^lol. walking around with a drug scale is probably not a good idea.

Search on E-bay for words like pocket digital scale or jewelry scale. Make sure you get one that at least goes to 200g as a 100g scale would be pretty useless.

Well, I just went with this one from Amazon that had the best ratings for cheap.

I overpayed for a digital Taylor scale at Target... but i promised the woman we'd use it for cooking too.

Harbor Freight Tools had one for a while... Let me see. Here it is. $11.99 and measures down to a tenth of a gram.

I got one on Ebay for $6. It took forever to ship from China, though.
It works great. All my Discraft was marked correctly. The other guys, not so much.

This is the one I have...Anything but cheap, but it's a serious piece of equipment. I wouldn't trust those cheap scales...What good is .1 gram if it's not accurate? You are better off buying a mail scale at office depot that only measures to the gram.

Or you could take your bag to the post office. They've got nice scales there.

i got mine at a head shop...they have the top of the line scales :thmbup:

I got this one, I figured 636 people can't be wrong.

Got one for $13.99 at Harbor Freight Tools. All my discs except one were within a gram of what they were marked from the manufacturer.
