I build cabinets, shelves, display cases, etc. Will this work with these and other projects and will it calculate the amount of wood needed?

I used it to draw a deck for the back yard, and used the dimension application to calculated lengths and widths, etc. and the deck ended up pretty great. Since I was a CAD CAM Programmer at work, and using different software, the TurboCAD software I had at home fitted in smoothly to what I wanted to do with the deck. Mastering TurboCAD isn't going to hold back anything you're planning to fabricate, and plan material usage. It's surely worth the effort for Your own projects You want to engage in..

I've used it on wood and the depth settings worked fine.counter sunk and flush.

I think the batteries would last a while with that type of use. I also think you will be please with the purchase. I used mine to build some shelves from raw wood. I went through 1 set of batteries until my husband pre-drilled the rest of the wholes for me.

yeah, but you should test/calibrate it with some feeler gauges. I've used it on my drill press to align and square the table and work pieces with very good results. I'd recommend a dial caliper though which can be found for around the same price or a little more.

Not very good I am afraid. You can get a pretty good depth reading at 3/4" or maybe 1 1/2" and that is pushing it. Alternatively you can use a very thin drill bit to bore a small hole and see if wood bits come out. This is not accurate and you may have to drill several holes before you find the stud center and you may have to patch your misses afterwards.

hi manfred i suspect that it should be able to measure % of humidity in these products if it can and does work on sawdust then it should work on your products. regards bluey

It detects the screw or nail heads that are in the studs, so yes it should be able to detect the studs through wood paneling.

Yes.....I was not very happy with this unit and got my money back! It's NOT real wood,some kind of synthetic crap. The screws don'thold well and wood glue does NOT stick to its self!

Not sure on that but I used mine to make a kitchen table. I love it. Looks great

no it will not....just a plain back board like in most cabinets and will not support weight in that manner.

yes the Dimpler will work for wood or drywall and has a lifetime guarantee Gyplok Fastening Systems Inc.

This is only for wood. For steel, you will require a milling machine or equivalent.

Your in luck, the instruction book comes with a complete breakdown off all the materiel needed, including the 2x4's and plywood in detail. Take a copy with you to the lumber store and you will be all set.

I use it only to measure moisture in lumber; but I have noticed it measures basically the superficial moisture. I can measure it deeper if I first make two tiny holes in the wood to insert the sensors. I don't think it would give you what you need.

No not necessarily but it will help with assembly. The wood screws are long.

I don't think it will work since ( I guess ) the thickness of wooden file is thicker than the metal file.

I have used mine on pine 2 x 4s (and a 4 x 4 post once if I remember correctly) which is probably a tougher wood than what's in your armoire so it should work as long as your blade is sharp. However, since the saw works opposite the way we are accustomed in the US, push vs pull, you need to be careful to get a clean and, especially, straight cut so your result looks professional. A few practice cuts on scrap wood should work. I speak as an amateur.
