Thanks for all of the compliments.  I liked the challenge of getting all of these features in one design.  I wonder how I can improve it.

truly awesome job , kevin!!!
you asking for improvements, the only thing i could think of would be to set it up with a digital readout- kinda like the bearpaw one
less chance for error in the reading- and even quicker yet!!

   

sorry mods- will this link work?
not sure i understand why the other link is not allowed   :dunno:  
thanks

I have one question on it, can it be used also without power to the foot pedal, like the old style as well?

Fujimo, I have an all digital design in mind that will also weigh the shaft before spine testing it.  It will basically work like this: turn on or zero the scale, insert shaft then hit a button and the spining operation starts.  At the end the weight and spine are displayed.  This will work like no other tester you have seen - if it works at all.

Don't wait up for one, this design is in my head and will require circuitry and code development and is not an active project I am working yet,

Stringstretcher - yes it can work manually.  I think some sort of block that fits between the weight and the top of the main support will hold the weight up when installing the shafts.
