User questions & answers

Question:	Will this scale read grains

User questions & answers

Question:	is there any way to get replacement parts for this scale? I have one that is missing the .1 grain poise
Answer:	No. The mesh is too big. The golf ball will pass through.
Question:	One review talks about rust. The pictures below show rusted balance pins. Whats up with this ? How can we trust these scales
Answer:	It's obviously a different size/configuration, but to practice form and motion and accuracy to some extent, I don't know why not. I think my son actually did use it for this, but it's been more than a few years
Question:	Whats up the rusted beam pins and rezeroing issues mentioned in a couple reviews
Answer:	The product is very sturdy and very well built. It takes me less than 5 minutes to set up and less than 5 minutes to break down. You can set it up and leave it outside but there are a couple of things to consider. 1) there are flexible poles that stretch the net, they could get warped after a while 2) the net system could become worn due to weather. I believe you can set it up and leave it with no issues but I think you can make it last longer if you pack it away when you're not going to use it for a while.
Question:	Does this scale have a magnetic damper
Answer:	Any kid who does any kicking or throwing sports will use it. Football, volleyball, frisbee, soccer, (DO NOT USE baseballs, golf balls, any kind of small balls, etc). Your 7 year old will use it for accuracy drills as long as their attention span will keep them captive. Once you learn how, a 5 year old can be taught how to set it up and break it down. The net itself is virtually kid proof. In addition, I have found the seniors that I work with love to use the net to throw at indoors. The net can't be broken, tipped over by a throw, or seriously moved by a throw. Adults, kids, anyone can throw with max power and not even dent or break the net.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this scale readable from both sides? Thanks
Answer:	Hello, You can see the instructions here https://dmx.ohaus.com/WorkArea/showcontent.aspx?id=8620.

User questions & answers

Question:	Where is it made
Answer:	The scale has a metal body and beam and is made in the USA - says so on the box, I just checked. It is sensitive and I suggest getting a set of test weights to calibrate it every time you use it.I load 45/70 and 30-06 shells and it is extremely accurate and steady. As a practice I reset the scale to zero after every 10th round and re-weigh charges occasionally while I'm working. I may be slow, but my rounds are consistent and accurate.
Question:	Is there a user guide with this product? Is a pdf available
Answer:	We purchased this about a year ago, and it didn't have a bullet rebate.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the size of standing platform? Width and lenght (where you stand on when using scale
Answer:	You have to do it in two separate steps, because the pounds and kilos are listed separately.. For example, I weigh about 175 lbs. So first I move the large slider to the 150lb groove and then the small slider to 25lbs. In order to get my weight in kilos I move the large slider to the 60kg groove and then the small slider to 19kgs. Hope this helps.
Question:	does this come with a carrying case
Answer:	This scale is about five feet tall, and it is very accurate. I went to a medical supply store and they wanted $275.00 for this scale!!!
Question:	It claims to be 20x20, but I can see from the picture it's way longer than wide, including the base. What are the actual measurements
Answer:	Dear Connie: The scale is 20" deep and the base is approximately 10.5 inches wide. We have been quite happy with it and use it daily. However, I must say that it generally is two-three pounds in my favor when compared to the scale at my doctor's office, or the one in front of the local grocery market. Of course, I am fully clothed then!
Question:	Does it come pre calibrated
Answer:	Yes
