Pin vs Pinless Moisture Meters
With your deeper understanding of how moisture meters work, and in particular, the differences in how a pin and pinless moisture meters work, you’re better positioned to make decisions about what type of moisture meter makes the most sense for your purposes.
Orion 950 – “Recently purchased this moisture meter, after reading a substantial number of reviews and comparisons between different meters and option for measuring the drying of hardwood lumber for woodworking. Comes well packaged and padded in its own hard plastic case, which includes the wood specific density guide, instructions and a device specific calibration plate. Took it out for measurements over the past couple of days to my piles of hard maple, walnut, oak, hickory and cherry, and a few home center 2x4s and had measurements done promptly, accurately (based on what I knew about the lumbers age and drying history), and easily – a real breeze to use. Very happy with how simple it is to change to specific density to adjust between species and I can see this being an asset to my lumber purchases for years to come.”
