Balance construction
What you need:
A CNC milling machine
Raw materials
I placed homemade between " because ofcourse this isn't made at my home, but at a workshop.
The bubble level for keeping a good eye on how the balance is behaving looked very handy
to me, and it also provides means to adjust the imbalances in the scale (note the location of it)
About precision, when placing 0.25 grams on I get an obvious change in the bubble,
and with close observation the finetuning is in the 0.1 gram range. Beyond that the friction in the bearing is taking it's toll.

If you want a closer look for the last 4 pictures, load them in a seperate window.
And no, I won't make my site java (I hate popups).
A last note on stability, this beast weighs a total of 13 kg :D
