How can you check spring pressure with a bathroom scale?

Easy...

...put the scale on the table of your drill press

...place spring ON said scale

...put a 6" scale along the spring

...compress spring with the drill chuck

...when you have compressed the spring the correct amount...which varies from spring to spring...read the weight on the scale

...OR when you have the weight reading that you are looking for, read the distance travled with the 6" scale
