[QUOTE="o2bmark, post: 2212189, member: 6358"] This is your answer and while others on this thread have favorites I doubt anyone will say Frog is “wrong”. I polished up my ebay M5 with Arkansas stones and lubed with a soft pencil. I leveled the beam on 0 ( with a level) by adjusting the weight in the carrier you set the pan on. My improvement is not perfect in that each time I set up scale I have to test weight and vibrate by tiny taps until the knives settle. I use my test weights to verify and begin use. Eye position is critical and some use a cheap digital camera to observe needle which I really should do. I added a needle (sewing needle) to the balance beam pointer (offset by more ballast in pan holder). A single granule of all but the smallest ball powers will move needle. As I said my only negative is having to settle in scale before a session. My chargemaster is not consistent per say. If I watch it trickle up to weight I can usually tell if it will be off by how it finishes. Accuracy wise the chargemaster is off 1 1/2 grains average. [/QUOTE]
