No seriously I ordered the myweigh gempro 250 today. Anyone have any tips or advice on this product. Good or Bad? Let'er rip. Thanks!!!!!

With any scale, the less you move it around, the better it will be. I place my scale on a shelf above my bench. Keep it covered to prevent dust from settling on it.

Fred..

I really like the dedicated shelf idea. I have some padding from my wife's attempt at working out that I've been using to put under my concentricity/squaring gauges and my spine gauges I built for my arrow building bench. Would this padding help with vibration? What about static, frequencies?
I want to set it up right the first time. Thanks!!!

I have the same scale. I settled on it after reading reviews here and other places. I am happy with it. Enjoy.

Hodge..

That's good to hear bro!!!!
I appreciate your telling me that. But I won't get bent like a dogs hind leg if anyone has bad to say. I'm not hung up on brands and such.

I don't think padding is necessary or even desired. You want the scale to sit flat & ideally, never move, keep out of any drafts. On the wall should eliminate most bench vibrations or at least really limit them.

The gempro comes with a mousepad that does absorb some vibrations. I should do the same for my A&D FX120 as it changes readings if I am walking around or using the press

That is more likely air currents, not vibration, unless your bench is on an elevated wood floor??

It is an old house and the floors don't have the support for the lumber used as floor joints

Well I really like the gempro and my confidence is a lot higher now. When I get powder charges at or near max in the future this scale will work great for me. It's so precise.

I have a friend who's got one. Checked it with my checkweights and it was good to go. Seemed to be a great scale. I wouldn't mind having one, myself.

If your friend GT is going to be in the dog house the gempro would be great to have seeing how its so compact. Lol

Lol, it is a great scale and GTJon actually suggested it to me when I was in the market. The only complaint is its too accurate and OCD habits get in the way.

Hey, I figured if you wanted to chime in, you'd do so. Didn't want people hounding you via PM asking your thoughts on it.

And this is what I get for being mindful of your privacy. Hmph! :lol:
