SHARE

The Bessemeter DS500 Dual Scan Pinless Wood Moisture Meter is designed for efficient and quick moisture measurement in woodworking. It features dual-depth scanning capabilities, allowing users to select between 0.75 inches (1.9 cm) and 0.25 inches (0.6 cm) for different measurement requirements. The device is suitable for both softwood and hardwood species, giving a precise percentage of moisture content ranging from 6% to 32%. A user-friendly digital display and a 'Hold' function are included for ease of use. This moisture meter also offers a robust design, enhancing durability across various woodworking applications. While probing-type meters can cause damage, the DS500’s pinless operation provides a non-invasive alternative, ensuring the integrity of the measured material. The tool operates on a simple 9V battery and comes secured in a hardshell carrying case. Notably, it supports a calibration verification reference, which, though sold separately, ensures measurement accuracy. It is protected under a 2-year warranty ensuring reliability.
