Thread: Type of Weight Scales

I can't see any reason why not. They might even be more accurate, although near enough is probably good enough.
Don.

Any of them should work, but watch that the digital one does not have a lag on their reading - this could lead to an incorrect reading as it is hard to keep it moving steadily even for a few seconds.

The saving grace is that the preload is not all that critical - just needs to be in the right ball park. (but measure it with the seal not installed)

I have always used the scales in the first picture

Hello John,

Thank you for the reply. I thought there may be other things to consider. Cost was not a deciding factor because they all appear to be priced pretty much the same.

Have things settled down fire wise near you?

Kind regards
