    So I got a new bench and I have an FX120i Scale that measures to .001 and when I bump the bunch it actual moves my numbers on the scale which is bad when your weighing to the Kernel for powders. So the question I was thinking about buying this below and then putting the scale on top do you think it will decrease the wobble on the scale to make it worth it? I know I can just not bump the bench but it happens sometimes and I'm prepping my new bench for my new V4 Autotrickler for XMAS!!! WOOT WOOT:party29::party29:

    You need a bench that doesn’t vibrate. Simply putting a big block of granite won’t work if the bench moves under it. The traditional way for sensitive analytical balances in laboratories is to put them on marble or concrete benches. Also keep the thing out of air currents. Vibration and moving air are your enemies when it comes to sensitive weighing equipment.

    Most setups I've seen people use sink cut-offs from granite counter tops for free.

    If you put rubber sticky things under should help dampen.

    I have the V3 and the plexiglass helps shield air movement also.

    Good luck on the Xmas list

    This is what you need, I use a 1 inch 12/12 marble with solid 1/4 in solid rubber back. Works great and I also use it for my leather stamping work.
