Good morning,
I am a new member of this group and recently got the BESS sharpness tester (Edge-On-Up PT50A).
I notice something strange with the BESS sharpness tester
If I put a block of wood on a digital accurate scale, it weighs (for example) 46.5 grams. If I press tara and weigh that same block again, it again weighs 46.5 grams. That's the way it's supposed to be.
But with my BESS sharpness tester (Edge-On-Up PT50A), I measure a much higher value for the same block of wood: 57 grams.
If I repeat the same measurement as described above on the BESS scale, the results vary: 57 grams, 60 grams, 58 grams 74 grams, and so on.
That there is a difference between scales, I can understand, but the difference is substantial. But that the same cube on the BESS scale gives different measurement results, I find strange.
I do have an idea that difference occurs with putting the block of wood on it. If I put it on more forcefully, I get a higher value than if I put it on more subtly.
Maybe I shouldn't think of my BESS sharpness tester as a "scale.
Who can tell me a little more about this?
Thanks in advance for the responses!
Wim
