I want to use it to weight jewelry wax models. I'm a beginner but need a relatively good product. Will it do? Is it accurate/reliable?

Unfortunately I am not using it for jewelry weighing. I actually got it for small amounts of fertilizers for my planted fish tank. It works for my purposes but don't know about others.

It is designed and calibrated for specific buidling products. It would not work for this use, and was not the least bit accurate. Using both probes on the same material did not produce results that were remotely similar. I returned the product.

A good scale. The rcbs scale is extremely accurate but I love the quick readings on my hornady digital scale. Also if you are doing bulk reloading you will need a powered champfer/debur tool. Rcbs case prep center is what I use. Good luck to you!

I am currently using it to test my coils and it does work to a reasonable level. It will definitely will tell u if your coil is safe and the rough resistance, but I would not consider it precise enough for the serious vapor.

Yes it does work right out-of-the-box. The ounces has only two digits so anything above 9 you do not have tenths of an ounce. I don't think it has to be calibrated.

I received my scale with no problems, I even dropped the display and it still works! (I finally decided to hang it on the wall so I would not keep dropping it) But I don't see where I had to wet my feet and it still works fine with dry feet... I have another Fat Analyzer scale and they are within .01% of each other, so I think they are pretty accurate. Maybe you got a lemon one... mine only takes a few seconds.

It does work. Needs calibration when new, but this just involves rotating the watch several times. I would not recommend it for precise measurements, but good enough for casual hiking. If you need serious guidance a precision compass is a better choice.

I've never tried it, but have you checked with the USPS to see if they have any calibration weights on site? I'm sure their scales, like all scales, have to be calibrated regularly. You could take it to them and see what they say. I live in a rural area and the local branch is never very busy, so I'm sure they would help me. A busier location may not be as helpful.

I do not use a calibration weight since I am using my scale for espresso. I am just interested in repeatability, not the exact weight. The others made great suggestions on using coins.

Yes, it will work. I just tested it on some small kitchen items like spoons/measuring cups and I am able to get a reading as small as 0.1 pounds

My experience is that it is accurate with very small masses such as fractions of an ounce or in a low number of grams. For such small masses or volumes I put a small Dixie cup on the scale (which typically weighs about 3 grams) and then tare the scale and then add in the powder or whatever I need to weigh. I typically use grams, but the scale can show weights in tenths or hundredths of an ounce.

The key is accuracy. Depending on the area of the table you can. The measurement area for the laser is about 2-3mm across. Your best bet for smaller mounted jewelry is to get it professionally appraised. The last thing you'd want is to get a false negative because the mounting threw off the reading. Again, it depends on the size of the table. I've used it on mounted rings, but they are larger carats

yeah, but you should test/calibrate it with some feeler gauges. I've used it on my drill press to align and square the table and work pieces with very good results. I'd recommend a dial caliper though which can be found for around the same price or a little more.

not with any kind of accuracy. it's not weighted for that as-is. You might be able to modify it for that purpose but i wouldn't recommend it.

works great with any amount and is quite accurate and it has a tara button that allows you to weigh the container first then you can add any herbs into the container without the weight of the container works very well for me. Where I live in Florida I have seen this very scale at flea markets selling for $25.00

It should be. I have used it to weigh very small packages and even grams of silver or gold jewelry.

i'd say fairly accurate if you clamp your wood and take it easy with the saw....it is not an expensive miter box but does seem to do the job..i'd say it depends on how accurate you need to be...but it should do the job....
