But I ruined a blade on my circular saw after hitting an old nail I&#8217;d missed when cleaning the wood (my eyes ain&#8217;t what they used to be). The Lumber Wizard is a lot less expensive than those security metal detectors, and it&#8217;s saved my new blade a couple times. It takes less than a minute to check a big sheet of ply. If it finds something and I still can&#8217;t see it, I use the Little Wizard (when I purchased my Lumber Wizard, this came bundled with it).<\/p>\n<form mt:asset-id=\"4260\" class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\" style=\"display: inline;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/wp-content\/archiveimages\/archives\/little-wizard_sm.jpg\" width=\"129\" height=\"217\" class=\"mt-image-none\" style=\"\" \/><\/form>\n<p>I guess you could just use the Little Wizard to scan lumber, but it would take longer since it only covers a few square inches at a time. The bigger Lumber Wizard covers about a 6&#8243; x 6&#8243; area, so sweeping it over a big ply or 2 x 4 goes pretty darn quick (for thicker wood, I usually flip over the lumber and scan both sides just to be sure). The battery life is pretty good, too. I went three months on a single nine-volt battery, using it several times a day, three to four days a week. The Lumber Wizard also has a vibrate setting, which is helpful if other machines are going in the shop, since my hearing ain&#8217;t what it used to be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Locate metal before woodcutting<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[12],"tags":[1350],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1593"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1593"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1593\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10966,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1593\/revisions\/10966"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1593"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1593"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1593"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
