    Moisture Meter

    Hi Everyone, I am sure that this has been asked and answered before but I have not found it so far. Can anyone suggest a decently priced and accurate moisture meter for testing the moisture content in lumber? Thanks. Steve

    Moisture Meter???

    What is the best moisture meter I can buy for app. $100? I think I have REALLY overspent my budget for Christmas this year (ref. new shop) but maybe I could convince LOML that I deserve a fairly good mositure meter. :gar-La;

    HF Moisture Meter Question: Is it broken or am I doing something wrong?

    I'm on my second one of these and this one is doing the same thing. I do not get a reading on green or dry wood, high or low scale. If I touch both tines to my skin it reads but nada in wood.

    What does your moisture meter look like?

    Well.. I think I will get a moisture meter, but I have no idea what to look for. I see them priced from $25 to upwards of $200. Does anyone have any brand recommendations? I'd rather not spend 200 bucks, nor anything near that. Anyone... Anyone?
