Stylus force digital scales

Winds ALM -01 is good to 1/100th of a gram it is the best $30.00 gauges are not accurate.

Best digital scale I have used.

If you don't want to mess around with modifying a scale as
Doug suggests, then pick up a Cartridge Man scale. It's
spendy, but is designed well and is rechargeable.

Although, I may be inclined to try Doug's excellent idea if
my Cartridge Man scale dies on me in the future.

After buying and trying many digital scales used for the specific application of measuring tracking force, I agree with Don. This version is clearly superior when compared to similar but smaller scales that use button style batteries. It has the best most solid construction quality, has a non-magnetic platform, measures at the proper height, and provides reasonably consistent readings.

I have one and it works well. It takes watch batteries so pricey to replace. I had the AcousTech- $80, pc board made by the same company- and it operated on two AAA batteries and had an aluminum case. They do stop functioning if you drop them. Both had very repeatable measurements and a calibration weight. The AcousTech held calibration well. Not so much the Amazon version.
