Can I put a larger plate, tare to 0... and use that as the surface without the accuracy changing too much?

Not really. You have to use a VERY LIGHT container or it kind of messes with the accuracy. The scale actually comes with a clear plastic cover that works very well as a weigh container...

Maybe, if I understand the question! You'd have to set it for 60, then keep looking at it though. It's pretty simple; that's the beauty of it. (It does work the other way around, counting up, but I haven't mastered--or needed!--that yet.)

Unfortunately - no. It is so accurate because it is so sensitive. You need to find a flat place to keep it permanently - although it can be reset whenever you move it. It seems like a drag, but the other wonderful aspects of this scale far outweigh this one inconvenience.

This will work, I tried it. Put gage on a solid surface like your tablesaw table. Set zero. move it to the surface you want to measure and set zero again. Now put it back on the reference surface and it will display the difference. It will remember the zero point and give you the difference when you move it to another location.

Yes, you can. For example, if you set the device to enlarge by 200%, the copy will be twice as wide and twice as high as the original. It can also diminish the size.

use a 1/4'' drill bit, then a 1'' uni-bit to ream 3/4'' hole. it leaves less material to file for fine adjustment if needed

Just print the correct offset based on the thickness of your glass: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:263804

The floor plate is no thicker than an eighth of an inch high. Which is significantly shorter than your threshold. Its definitely worth the investment.

The area displaying the numbers is 3/4" high by 1 1/2" wide. It's very readable. The surface area for measuring is 5 1/2" x 5 1/2". As long as the item being weighed does not exceed that, i.e. a 9" dinner plate or such that would cover up the display, you should have no problem. I love this little scale!

Yes this is possible, I can give you a 3"X3" self adhesive engraved plate. I would send you a proof of the work scaled to size of the plate for you to review and approve prior to engraving.

This seems to be a very well made tool and is graduated to allow readings down to 0.0001". I am not sure I would trust it to be real accurate to such dimensions. Your touch would have to be better than mine to feel confident to readings less than 0.001. - Chet

I imagine if you do the math right, there would be no reason why you couldn't shorten it. The only hardware is the corner pieces (right angles). Just remember that you also need to shorten the boards in the center that form the "u" shape.

Yes. For example, I put the plate on the scale then zero it out. If I remove the plate, the scale displays a negative number. I then repeat the process with each item I add--zero the current reading then add the next item. I hope this helps.

not specifically, but maybe you could adjust accordingly by experimentation with settings

I would not recommend doing it I would use 25g or higher for best accuracy.

Sorry I am really not sure as I have never had a reason to change the plate. If it were the exact size it might be possible with the right tools.

If you get used to the fact that it has offset from pointer and use a large zoom it is possible. But it is not super easy :)
