Tuning a beam scale

[Dave T]

I want to get back to using a beam scale and I have read somewhere that I may be able to get a beam scale tuned to perform better, anyone know someone who does this?
Thanks,
Dave T

What if you could have a beam scale that was sensitive to a single kernel of powder? No drift, no cell phone disturbance, no barometric pressure changes etc. If interested, please contact me. I tune beam scales.

Scott does good work; m Ohaus 10-10 is now is accurate and very repeatable. And its accurate to the single kernel of powder.

Scott reworked mine too, great work and reasonable cost........

I bought a tuned scale from Scott. What everybody says is true.

You'll end up wishing your trickler was more precise.

+4 for Scott.

+5 for Scott, very nice work indeed.

I was thinking the same thing. Now I am looking to get a Omega power trickler. hehe

I like the Omega, it finishes out the tuned scale nicely.

Scott does great work-he did my 10-10-great! barry

My poor ancient Ohaus scale was giving me problems until I looked at the knife edges on the balance arm. It takes a good bit of magnification to see, but they were definitely dull. A few seconds with a fine diamond hone restored the edges and the sensitivity. One kernel of IMR SR-5749 causes readable deflection now. Reloader 15 shows less deflection but the kernels are smaller. I'm happy with the results. You might want to have a look at the agates while you're at it. They get gunk in the notches. Lacquer thinner gets it out.

Very good advice

Hi Boyd,
I have a scale coming from Scott, thanks for your help with this.

Tell Scott that I will be expecting my usual referral fee.

Scott's scale combined with one of those electronic tricklers= Priceless!
