Portable Sawmill and Reclaimed Wood Metal Detection

Lumber Wizard and Little Wizard are two popular brands of metal detectors designed specifically for use in the woodworking industry. These devices are used to detect metal hidden inside wood, such as nails, screws, or other fasteners, before they can cause damage to saw blades or other cutting tools.

When using reclaimed wood or portable sawmills, it's important to be aware of the potential for hidden metal. Reclaimed wood is often salvaged from old buildings or other structures and may contain embedded metal from nails or other fasteners. Portable sawmills are also vulnerable to metal damage, as they can come into contact with nails or other debris hidden inside logs.
​

If metal is not detected and removed prior to cutting or milling the wood, it can cause serious damage to cutting blades or other tools, leading to costly repairs or replacements. It can also pose a safety risk for workers, as metal debris can become dangerous projectiles when caught in the cutting process.

By using a metal detector like Lumber Wizard or Little Wizard, woodworkers can identify and remove hidden metal before it causes any damage. This can save time, money, and reduce the risk of accidents in the workshop.
