If you use secondhand wood or barn wood you use this to find the nails and other blade eaters. You use it before you make your first cut to protect your other woodworking tools.

Assuming this is legit, and I'm not sure it is.....

I recently read a review and the Garrett Pro-Point came out on top. Amazon has a decent price point. If I ever have to replace mine I'd look at one of these.

Not having personally owned this brand I can only say what I read. Back when I got mine the Lumber Wizard seemed like a good unit but they have updated theirs several times since. I can say I have never had it seem to miss metal bits but then who really knows what lurks in the deep wood.

Have you ever really used this so-called wood working machinery?
It is said that it can be used in wood working.
Which step do you use the tool?
I am curious about that.
 
FWIW, I get a hit from my antivirus software (ESET NOD32)on that site.

This Garrett is exceptional! I occasionally borrow it from a friend who made a decent living salvaging ranch and farm buildings.

It found a piece of a broken screw buried in a plank that would have destroyed the blades in my planer.

Yes, a bit pricey, but think of the cost of just one set of planer or jointer blades or a nice saw blade.

Just my opinion.

Be well,
Ben
