How accurate are Lignomat moisture meters?

Used correctly and set to the right species or material scale, Lignomat meters deliver readings well within the tolerance needed for woodworking, flooring, and inspection work. Accuracy depends on good technique — proper species correction, firm sensor or pin contact, and letting the material reach a stable temperature.
