Mini-Ligno E/D Moisture Meter

A bright red numeric display makes taking accurate moisture readings easy and error-free. Simply press the pins into the wood and the meter automatically turns on to provide a reading. Features a wide moisture range of 6-45% — low enough for professional furniture/cabinet makers and hardwood floor installers and high enough for construction-grade lumber, firewood, and wood turning blanks. Includes two standard 3/16" pins, two 7/16" pins for taking deeper core readings, wrist strap, pouch and 9V battery. Extra pins are stored inside the meter. Measures approximately 2-3/4" x 5" x 1".

Resolution: 0.1% below the critical moisture range of 10% and 1% steps above 10%. Bright, digital display is readable even in dark crawl spaces. 2 settings for wood species corrections. Measuring Range: 6-45% for setting 1, 6-55% for setting 2. Green cap covers the pins during transport and slips onto the back end to serve as a comfortable handle when pushing the pins into the wood. Longer pins are stored inside the meter for measuring thicker material. Short pins are ideal for surface or end cut readings, and for veneer. Calibration Check: The calibration is internally checked and automatically adjusted. Pins: 2 pair of pins, measuring depth of 3/16" and 7/16" (5,10mm).

2) Submitted by Bob Leavitt, from Hollywood, MD on 6/5/2009 Customer Rating: I bought several hunderd board feet of air dried hickory to build chairs. Getting the moisture content right is essential to the process, this meter has helped me invaluably accomplish that goal. Easy to use, and instructions are easy to follow.

3) Submitted by Steve, from Emporium, PA on 4/26/2009 Customer Rating: On occasion I trade labor for lumber. When a customer wants a project out of their supplied wood I can depend on the meter for accurate readings and eliminate any future expansion or shrinkage issues. It's simple to use without the annoying bells and whistles.

4) Submitted by Ray Stillman, from Farmington , ME on 3/10/2009 Customer Rating: My interest was for measurements of both shop and firewood. Product delivered promptly, in good condition, and with the batteries, no less. Unit meets my needs, plus.

5) Submitted by Fred Wood, from Lititz, PA on 2/9/2009 Customer Rating: I didn't own a moisture meter and thought that it was time to buy one. Did a little homework and found this one pretty highly rated. Rockler shipped it quick as always and the meter is a good addition, and long overdue, to my home workshop.
