Review on 🌲 LIGNOMAT Mini-Ligno DX/C Wood Moisture Meter by Robert Hole

The Lignomat DX/C is easy to use and versatile. It has an inner table made of 40 different types of wood (more should be available from Ligno help) as well as drywall, building materials and a concrete structure. There are two sets of pins - a set for 4/4 or less and a longer set for 5/4. The pins are sharp and easily penetrate the wood. The activation button switch is located between the contacts, so the device turns on (and off) automatically. The same switch is used to set the desired wood via a code from a laminated insert card labeled with 40 species of wood. There is also a temperature compensation table - the measured moisture content can be manually adjusted to the ambient temperature. Of course you can have this machine, but not at this price. DX/C also has wired connections. This can be used in combination with a suitable cable electrode in situations where the gauge is unreadable, for special concrete electrodes, for building inspectors or for remote cable connection inside the furnace. Small factory furnaces powered by conventional or infrared light bulbs are common. Other accessories are available such as a calibration cap, although the instructions list several other rough calibration methods. Note that since wood shrinkage is an important factor in furniture manufacture, it is possible to measure the moisture content of the final location (seasonal?) and the moisture content of the raw wood, and subtract the amount of shrinkage that occurs to arrive at an appropriate compound enable methods can be used. Conclusion: If you are looking for a good measuring device that will measure many different types of wood, this is a good choice. The slightly cheaper DX model is identical, but without an external cable connection.
