I have the moisture meter. I seems pretty acurate. Only problem I have is that it's only accurate as far as the pins will go in. I usually measure again when I have bandsawed out a blank to see what the content REALLY is. But I'm sure that's a problem with any pin moisture meter. I've checked kiln dried wood that's been in my shop for about a year, and it measures 8% or a little higher, so it seems accurate on the low end. Fresh cut blanks measure way up on the high side, and some lumber I've had drying for probably 8-10 months measures between 14-16% moisture. Seems pretty close to real to me.
