Lumber metal detector works well up to 1/8 in. deep

摘要

We were lukewarm on the Lumber Wizard when it was reviewed about eight years ago (FWW #152), as the process was slow and the results were inconsistent. So when the company came out with a new version, the Lumber Wizard III, I wanted to see if the metal detector worked any better. In this test, it proved effective at finding metal parts within 1/8 in. of the wood's surface. So, if you work with rela-tively thin stock (under % in. thick), and scan from both sides of the stock, the Lumber Wizard can find any metal in the wood.
