I am curious about the Acculab gram scale. How many people have tried this
one and is it worth the money? I thought it might be a real nice bit of
equipment instead of pushing the little weights around on a regular
scale. Any input on likes or dislikes on digital scales would be
appreciated. I am making out my fall order for supplies/clay etc.

Ours weigh to one tenth of a gramm and have been spot on for over ten
years now. we had even more accurate ones but they were hopeless in
practice because natural air movements kept them hunting and it was a
pain to cage them. One gram scales are ok as well because they are
quite cheap now but you need to establish methods of quartering to get
less than 1 gram quantities. The 2 kilogramm versions are the ones as
well.

Just looked up the Acculab scales on the web. There are many models and
some are priced at 4 figures. LLewelyn, which particular model are you
looking at? Neil, which one do you use? Dolita

I was looking for a less expensive option to the standard Ohaus 3 beam
balance and found the following:

It has worked great for several years.

Nick,
Not my intention to get into a peeing ocntest about
who paid what, but I too recently looked for an
inexpensive scale and found plenty on ebay
from an outfit called oldwillknot or cheap scales .com.
I paid just over $69 for mine, including the weights.

I bought the MyWeigh digital 5000 gram scale from the bigceramicstore.com
for $60 and love it! The first few times I used it I backed it up with an
old triple beam and it was spot on! and soooooo easy!
