Great woodturning product [Posted on 2007-01-23]
I bought this when I was doing a lot of woodworking and it just sat in my drawer. In the last year I've changed to woodturning and have been turning lots of green wood. My mentor taught me to rough turn the wood to shape, weigh it, then let it age until it the weigh stabilized. I had to take several measurements over several months to do this. Then I thought of this meter. After searchng and searching, I finally found it. Reinserted the battery and tested the bowls. When the moisture content was about 10% the bowls were also stable on weight. I mentioned this to my mentor and he said that's a great method but most woodturners were to cheap to buy a moisture meter.
So, if you're into woodturning - 5 stars.
It worked.....Once then quit. [Posted on 2007-05-06]
I installed the battery and checked the operation on some green wood and on some seasoned/dry wood and it worked great.
The next time I tried to use it nothing happened, it wouldn't work so I bought another new battery and installed it. Still nothing, My suggestion would be "not to buy this item"
At over $40 ship and handling to check one piece of wood is really expensive.

I bought this meter because I am going to try to resaw and mill some of my own flooring and trim and I want to make sure the wood is stable(dry) before I go to the trouble. I am also using it to check moisture in firewood before I burn it or buy it.
I don't know how accurate the meter is but it seems to be consistent, although the readings can vary greatly at different depths. The more expensive meters have probes to hammer into the wood and that would probably be the best way. I cut or split a sample and test immediately to get a "core" sample because it is hard to push the meter probes very far into wood esp. hardwoods.

I ordered this meter from Orchid-depot.com. The meter will not work on wood. The only contact information for this seller is via email and seller will not respond to my request to return the defective product. Do not by from this seller!

I have used this moisture meter many times on dry wall since receiving it and find it very very reliable and easy to use. I highly recommend it.
