Pin-Type Wood Moisture Meter — Needle Probe, 16 Wood Groups, Field-Ready
The MT730 drives a needle probe into the wood for a direct electrical-resistance reading, working on rough, uneven, and stacked lumber where a flat-contact meter cannot sit. Built for sawmills, lumber yards, and woodworkers who want a dependable field reading without software, calibration blocks, or setup.
Reads rough and uneven stock: the penetrating needle probe takes a reading where surface-contact meters cannot make firm contact.
Hardwood, softwood, and 16 wood groups: selectable calibrations cover general lumber and veneer across a wide species range.
Accurate where it counts: ±0.5% below 20% moisture, the working range for kiln-dried and finished lumber.
Straightforward and rugged: automatic temperature compensation, upper-limit alarm, and averaging in a meter that runs all day on AA batteries.
Benchtop Wood Moisture Meter — No Longer Manufactured
The Turku was a benchtop resistance moisture meter notable for its two interchangeable probes: a non-penetrating contact probe for finished or delicate surfaces, and a 4-pin needle probe for internal measurement. One instrument covered both marking-sensitive and standard lumber work.
Two probes, one meter: Non-marking contact probe and penetrating 4-pin needle probe, interchangeable
Benchtop stability: Fixed-station measurement for repeatable shop and QC use
Automatic temperature compensation: Thermistor-based correction for consistent readings
Online Inline Wood Moisture Meter — No Longer Manufactured
The HG770 was an online wood moisture meter for continuous, inline measurement on production lines. Using a needle-roller contact system and DC resistance, it monitored moisture on moving stock and output readings to process equipment in real time.
Continuous online measurement: Monitored moisture on moving wood without stopping the line
Process integration: RS-232C and analog outputs for line control and logging
Large LED readout: Visible process display for operators
Handheld Pin-Type Wood Moisture Tester — No Longer Manufactured
The MT100 was a compact, handheld resistance moisture tester for woodworkers, lumber handlers, and shop environments. It read moisture by needle probe across a broad working range, with selectable calibration and a built-in correction chart for species variation.
Pin-type resistance: Direct moisture reading via needle probe penetration
Broad working range: 6–40% moisture content on a dry basis
Pocket-portable: 280 g with simple two-AA power for shop or field use
Analog Pin-Type Wood Moisture Meter — No Longer Manufactured
The AW-MO was a rugged, analog wood moisture meter built around a 4-needle probe and a direct-reading meter scale. With no display electronics to set up, it gave a fast moisture reading the moment the probe was driven into the wood.
Analog simplicity: Direct needle-gauge reading with zero menus or modes
4-needle probe: Penetrating resistance measurement for solid lumber
Field-rugged: Battery-checked, strap-equipped, built for the yard and the shop
