What do you put under your A&D scale?

[powderbrake]

Mine sits on my reloading bench, top made of 3/4 ply laminated to 1/2 ply with a 1/2 thick aluminum front section. rear section has Formica laminated to it. The bench is lagged into the concrete foundation.
When in use, I pull the scale to the front of the bench.

I had mine on two brick cap blocks to help dampen vibration but when I got the ST it was too tall and I had to remove one of the brick cap blocks. It's a poor mans granite block, same Idea but ugly and cheap.

Ideally you would have the balance/scale isolated from your bench on a separate stand alone from anything else. I don't have room for that currently but maybe if I ever get to building my workshop...

Cheers,

balance/scale isolated from your bench

Sorbothane layer underneath the granite. Lagging the bench to the wall will transmit vibrations from passing cars - it's a real thing that causes our well to produce more sediment in times of heavy traffic - into the bench.

My A&D scale is on a plastic card table. Works fine. But if you want more - sorbothane.
