J0N Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Hi, I’ve done short review of the GEMPRO 250 Scales, I test to see how consistently the scales weigh, as well as how they cope with precise powder tricking. I also do a drift test to see how much they drift over time. Let me know what you thin CheersJon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-NZ Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 As a strain gauge based system, they're not too bad but they'll never match the performance of a magnetic force restoration scale. I wouldn't want any scale that you have to lift and replace the pan to get a "valid" reading. Never have to think about it with my A&D scales and they -never- drift.

Chris-NZ Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 A&D FX-120i Cambridge Environmental in Canada had them for CA$400 a couple of years back which is when I grabbed one. Have never regretted outlaying for this item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldie Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Any experience of the FZ-200i-EC would they do the same job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggersqueezer Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 i have gem pro 250 scales and have never had to lift the pan.they register every kernel i drop in and when tested with 505 balance beam they have never been more than 1 kernel out of each other.good enough for me...

Thanks for that - Yeah id like to get a force restoration scale, need to see when an affordable one comes up:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine definitely don't always register the last couple of kernals, but i don't mind lifting the pan for now. How long have you had your scale for, mine was only bought a few months ago.

dorg Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Yesterday I bought a set of the A & D scales from a company called www.scalesandbalances.co.uk, having had a long discussion with a very nice knowledgeable lady who advised me these where the scales I needed rather than a set costing twice as much. The set without the internal calibration were £375 + vat and bought from a british company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
