method work just as well on green wood as it does on dry wood?

My tree had been standing dead for a long period of time. The trees were still green inside after cutting them down and I had no problems with my lumber wizard 5 In some cases the metal could be found as far down as six This one is very pleasing to me.

Does the vibration alert have a switch I can toggle to turn it ?

This feature was available in Lumber Wizard 3's older versions. In addition to a laser detection alert and red LED indicators, the model has a silent mode.

Fast shipping Works well, but the build quality is not as good as it could be
4/5

I like it. The detection of a was successful. The diameter of the wheel is 05”. A 1,5/8" long nail was hammered into a pine 2x4 about 1/8" below the surface. As well, I picked it up from its opposite side (pointed end was 3/4" below the The tiniest nail someone could drive into a piece of wood that I would try to plane would be about the size of this one. I was not impressed by the quality of the construction, especially Looks like a cheap vacuum cleaner Building housing from the ground up. There is little tactile feedback on switches because they are so small. Considering the off feature and the battery's need for full voltage, the unit offers a more obvious power source It is necessary to have an indicator.

Wow, I would be happy if I received this kind of service from every vendor
5/5

Since I got a ton of old Pine Heart lumber, I bought this tool last year in July. Over 100 years old barn from which this was taken. The paper is very thick and heavy, at 5 inches thick. It was great to use this tool as well! All of it was identified, it was fast, and it automatically calibrated so I was able to plane and saw the lumber without any problems. It's going to be hard for me to use the lumber again this year because the wizard was not working correctly. There was also a lot of erratic behavior. The batteries have been changed, but to no avail. I read that the warranty was for one year. After I sent an email and got a response, a replacement was on its You do not have to answer any questions! A week later, I held my brand new wizard in my hands! You are so lucky to live in such a wonderful place. The service was excellent and I would do business with them again without a doubt!.

In the first use, it was worth its weight in gold! nails that were cut out of it by the contractor who built our house in order to remove and reinstall the header for our front door
5/5

It was still possible to see the nails that held the trim in place, but they had been well covered over in finish and putty. If I had run it through then I would have damaged my planer knives. I was alerted to the problem by Lumber Wizard 5, so I was able to remove the hidden nails and measurably extend the life of my planers! My use of it has been repeated a number of times since then and it has always worked!.

It's an excellent tool and it's a peace of mind
5/5

Building doors out of reclaimed lumber is what I am going to do. Unless a magnet is anchored to the surface of my jointers, planers, and saws, I cannot trust them to protect Trying out the lumber Wizard 5 on an old pile of reclaimed wood, I put it to the test. First I heard the sound and then I used the laser light to see exactly at which location the fragments were that couldn't be seen by my eyes. It was a pleasant experience to work with them, and I commend the responsiveness of their representatives to both order fulfillment and follow-ups I thought the question I asked.

It works fine, nice small company with good customer service
5/5

My husband ordered this for work and when the battery stopped working after six months, we contacted the company, and they sent him a new one without any questions. His tools are shared with others, so perhaps it was dropped. My husband is a little puzzled about why it stopped working. Nevertheless, they replaced the defective one right away and we did not need to return it. It is just a pleasure to work with them. This is a family business and being sold by the inventor of the product. A++ Second product works Thanks a lot!.

It was the best product I have ever used
4/5

My mill detected metals in logs I was milling up to 6 inches deep. They delivered exactly what they said they would with Lumber wizard 5.
