Security verses Woodworking Metal Detectors

​The Lumber Wizard and Little Wizard metal detectors are designed specifically for woodworking applications, where they are used to detect small metal items such as wood staples, nails, screws, pins, tacks, and other metal fasteners that may be embedded in lumber or other wood products. These detectors are highly sensitive to small metal objects and can help prevent damage to tools, equipment, and finished products by identifying and removing metal debris before it causes harm.





On the other hand, typical security wands are designed to detect a wider range of metal objects, including those with more mass and size, such as knives, guns, blades, and other potentially dangerous materials. These detectors are used in various security settings, such as airports, courthouses, and public events, to ensure that individuals are not carrying prohibited items that could pose a threat to public safety.

While there may be some overlap in the types of metal objects that these different detectors can detect, they are generally designed for different applications and environments, and their sensitivity and detection capabilities may vary accordingly.
