moisture meter

Aug 15, 2005 4 Replies

Greetings!



I have been looking for an inexpensive moisture meter...some of the name brand ones are out of my price range right now. I saw some aftermarket meters on ebay.......has anyone tried one of these? Or could anyone recommend a source? I keep thinking of the phrase "you get what you pay for"...


Thanks,


Frank


Grizzly has a circular with a $9 (aprox. pin meter). I'm sure its not the most accurate, but it is cheap.

Which is why I gritted my teeth and bought a Wagner.

$5 air hygrometer and a copy of the EMC/RH graph pinned to the wall behind it. This is as much as a joiner needs. If you can wait a month for the timber to equilibriate, it's pretty accurate.

If you're trying to be a timberyard, then you're looking at $200 to get anything usefully better.

Got a Wagner MMC205 and love it. Works great.
