From time to time, I need to weigh something in the workshop - figuring moisture content of a sample of wood, proportioning components for epoxies, and so forth. I have been using our digital kitchen scale, but my wife has put her foot down about that; besides, I am not sure how accurate it is for the small weight ranges usually involved. Does anyone use a workshop scale that they would recommend? Readings down to a tenth of a gram would be welcome.
Thanks,
Jim

I use this scale mainly for weighing small packages. For $9 it’s hard to beat.

I have 2. First is a Starfrit that measures to 5 kilograms (11 pounds) in 0.1 gram increments. I don't remember where I got it from. The other measures to 1 kilogram in 0.01 increments that I think I bought in Walmart. I use them for weighing resins. The little one is needed for the hardener when mixing smaller amounts. If I needed to weigh more there are the bathroom scales.

I have a small digital postal scale that I got from amazon (like Matt). Mine was $15, I believe. It weighs anything up to one pound in either ounces or grams. I use it for measuring out epoxy components and shellac, mostly.
