Just bought a new scale

[mr45man]

It is a ashtray now but it was a KB .125 dome 406 sb chevy piston that was broken while pressing in the wrist pin.

That was lucky for the block.

Yeah i was in high school when i built that motor. I never finished the motor the way it needed. I used the factory 72 400 steam hole 1.94 heads.

Just got the new scale in and running. The brand on it says Tree. It is china made. I am please so far, im not having to pick up the pan to read one granual. It is a second or 2 for it to change after adding a granual. It is rock stead and reads my test weights dead on.

Just added a mitutoyo 500-136 japan made digital caliper to my tool set. Slowly im getting good equipment. I started this year with a lee 4 hole turret press.

When are going to buy US made products?

I always had a hard time finding 2.02 heads for my small blocks,
Seems as though 1.94 was ever plentiful just never gave me the power at the big end.
One day I bought a 396 out of a SS -man that SOB would really run!!

When i turned 16 my uncle tossed me the keys to his 70 chevelle ss 396. Said i was racing it at our local 1/8th and taking it to shows, but i was also doing all the maintenance. Not a problem i wasnt super fast 8.64 at 80mph but it shouldnt even been on the strip body and interior were perfect and body had no bondo. It was making over 500 hp with 4.56 gears, ladder bars, 3k stall, and plenty of motor work. Hell of a way to turn 16.

How does it compare to the RCBS? Check it against a couple other scales with a check weight..

I have the same scale as well as a Mettler AM50. Since I got the Mettler I keep it for a backup. The Tree seems adequate for precision weighing. See the post below for more information.

Clutter looks just fine. You need more tables, for more stuff!

Just an observation; I believe the picture indicates a lack of storage, I use micro-film cabinets and card file cabinets. The biggest waste of space is the peg-board and then there is all that space that goes to the ceiling.
