Found these today in the Woodcraft catalog and wonder if anyone has used either of these as a secondary detector? My guess is that they will work regardless of the original intent.
Little Wizard Metal Detector. Find nails, screws, staples or other metal with this detector instead of with your planer, bandsaw or joiner blades! Inexpensive and easy to use, this hand held unit quickly scans recycled wood to save time consuming and expensive blade changes. Alerts metal presence with both LED lights and audible tone. Requires one 9 volt battery, not included.
About $18
Lumber Wizard Metal Detector. The only metal detector designed especially for woodworking and woodshop applications. Features both an audible tone and a switchable vibration alert for noisy environments. Finds steel, stainless steel, zinc, magnesium and aluminum. Locates nails, screws, staples, tacks, bullets, wire and other small metal objects that can damage or destroy planer, jointer or saw blades. Locates large metal pieces up to 4" deep, a large screw at 3", a medium nail at 2", a paneling nail or staple at 1", through wood. Simply lay the wand on your wood, adjust the sensitivity and pass the wand over the wood in sweeping motions. Requires a 9V battery, not included.
