I have been using my Lee Scale for years when i first got it i had a hard time seeing the pointer i realized that if i lifted the scale up 3 1/2 inches i could see the pointer fine. I took a piece of 1x4 8 inches long and made four legs out of 3 1/2 inch carriage bolts with nuts and washers. I am able to level the table with my iphone and see the pointer fine. the scale is very accurate.

That is one of the reasons I have not used my Lee scale. so it stays packed away in its box and use the digital scale instead.

I am a two scale kind of guy i also have a RCBS 502 scale when i am setting up be dippers, powder measures or working out of a scale pan i like verify my my charges. I work with alot of small charges of fast pistol and shotgun powders. When i am weighting bullets or checking large rifle charges i double check charges with small digital scale. But i watch it like a hawk if the battery is getting weak or its in a bad mood it can go a little crazy.

That's a nifty setup Mike. I can see how that would help seeing the pointer and making sure it was level.

Great idea. Something like that would also get the scale pan up and a little closer to my trickler tube.

I built it because I had hard time looking down seeing the pointer after I started using it I found it a lot easer to remove the pan without bumping the scale.

good idea. Easier to read, up for good access to pan, cool...

Great work and innovation for sure this is one of those I wish I had thought of that even my Ohaus1010 beam scale could benefit from this setup. Thanks for sharing.

I have a (3) drawer plastic cabinet on my table. I cut a piece of wood to fit the top. The cabinet is about 12 inches high. That puts the scale just below eye level. I sure love it when I can see what im doing.... :lol:
