📏 Wagner Meters Orion Pinless Moisture Test: Accurate Measure & Inspect Tool Review

Seems accurate and very consistent with different woods and drying times. Used it at Home Depot and found big differences in lumber in the same batch. I am very satisfied with this meter and would like to buy it at the beginning.

What I like about the 950 is that it calculates theoretical equilibrium moisture content. That is, for the temperature and humidity conditions in which the wood is stored, which is the lowest humidity at which the wood can dry. With this information I can increase the temperature and/or decrease the humidity to reach my target humidity in less time.

Recently purchased this moisture meter after reading many reviews and comparisons of different gauges and options for measuring drying of sawn hardwood for woodworking. Comes well packaged and supplied in its own hard plastic case containing wood density guide, instructions and instrument specific calibration plate. I've pitted it to my hard maple, walnut, oak, hickory, and cherry piles and some 2x4 home centers over the last few days and measured it quickly and accurately (based on what I knew
