The first Lumber Wizard was made in 1999. Now 27 years later —
LUMBER WIZARD 5: Woodworking Metal Detector with Laser Line Indicator

The Lumber Wizard 5 is Wizard Industries' premier laser-guided woodworking metal detector, built specifically for woodworkers who can't afford to guess. It detects hidden nails, screws, bolts, staples, and wire inside lumber — before they reach your blade. When metal is found, an audible alert fires and the laser line pinpoints the exact location, so you can remove it fast and cut with confidence.

Key Features

• Laser Line Indicator — pinpoints the exact location of hidden metal on the board surface, so you know precisely where to dig, not just that something is there.
• Automatic 5-Second Tuning — power it on, wait five seconds, and it's ready. No manual calibration, no drift, no guesswork.
• Dual Alert System — LED and audible alerts work together for clear detection feedback in any shop environment, noisy or quiet.
• 5" Wide Scan Area — covers ground quickly on full-width boards, beams, and slabs.
• One-Handed Operation — ergonomic wrist strap keeps it secure during extended scanning sessions.
• Moisture Resistant — performs reliably regardless of wood moisture content.
• Durable Construction — robust plastic shell built for the workshop environment.
• 9V Battery — always use a fresh, high-quality 9-volt battery for maximum sensitivity. A weak battery causes false readings and missed detections.
• 1-Year Warranty — backed by Wizard Industries, the original creators of woodworking metal detection since 1999.
