Hi Ruairidh,
Yes, like yourself, I use a jig something like the one you have pictured and do small end weight balanced to the lightest. Followed by B/E balanced to the lightest. If the deadweights differ after equalising all the the end to end weights, there must have been a previous weighing error or a bit of "stiction" in my setting up of the pivot(s) of one of the rods previously.
The reason for my post was that some previous posters on this thread left me with the impression that they were only balancing the deadweight of the rods -but of course, that may be just the way that I read it.
