2. Enhance Safety: Avoid injuries caused by flying metal fragments or kickbacks during woodworking.
3. Save Time and Money: Reduce downtime, costly repairs, and material waste by catching metal early.
4. Precision Detection: The laser line helps you locate the exact position of metal for quick removal.

How It Works:The Lumber Wizard 5 emits an audible alert and projects a red laser line when it detects metal. The 6-inch scanning area allows you to scan wood quickly and effectively. Designed with automatic tuning, the detector adjusts itself to focus on high-density metal objects, ensuring consistent performance even in challenging environments.

Comparison: Lumber Wizard 5 vs. Little Wizard IIThe Lumber Wizard 5 and Little Wizard II are both designed to detect metal in wood, but they differ in size and capabilities:

• Lumber Wizard 5: Larger detection coil (6" x 2"), ideal for scanning larger areas and detecting deeper metal objects.
• Little Wizard II: Smaller detection coil (2.5" x 0.5"), perfect for pinpointing small or shallowly buried objects.

Both are excellent for detecting nails, screws, and staples in reclaimed barn wood, helping you preserve the quality of the wood while protecting your tools.

Metal Detectors for Woodworking vs. Security WandsUnlike standard security wands, which are designed to detect large objects like knives or firearms, the Lumber Wizard 5 is finely tuned for woodworking applications. It specializes in identifying small metal items such as nails, screws, and wire, making it the perfect tool for woodworkers.

Battery Tips for Best Performance:

• Always use a fresh 9-volt battery with at least 8.6 volts for optimal performance (Duracell recommended).
• Low battery indicators include inconsistent detection and flashing LEDs or laser.
• A fully charged battery ensures better detection depth and reduces false readings.

Specifications:

• Dimensions: 15" (L) x 3-1/8" (W) x 1-1/8" (H)
• Weight: 13 oz
• Power Source: 1x 9-volt battery (not included)
• Detection Range: Nails, screws, wire, bullets, and other metal objects in wood.
