Those hanging ones are completely non accurate unfortunately, i've got two and both are between 500-900g out compared to our good work ones :< _________________ www.demon50s.com - Minimoto parts

ebay search for "shop scales". Under $100 will get you a set of scales that goes to 150kg. $50 gets you about 50kg. I have the 150kg version they seem to be fairly accurate and they measure to within .05 of a kg .. _________________ Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events.

Cools Bought a 68kg shop scale that measures apparently to 0.02kg. So I'll line it up against the OHAUS scales and see how decent they are. Was $60 all included. _________________ www.demon50s.com - Minimoto parts

So they're more accurate than the first expensive scale? _________________ <Patrician|Away> what does your robot do, sam
