Nail Finder
Hi all,
I'm about to start planing 70 Tasi Oak picket fence palings. I've gone thru each and have removed the nails.
Is there a nail finder (like to old stud finders) that I can wave over the paling that will beep or flash when a nail is found?

I seen a few guys using Proper metal detectors. But unless you already have one they can be very expensive. Never know you may just be able to pick one up cheap somewhere. then you can go look for gold too!!

Hi Barry
I use a stud finder in "metal" mode, works OK. Seems to pick up any nails big enough to damage a saw blade, but pin sized nails broken off below the surface may not show up. Sometimes, as in Friday, I just press on and find the nails with a saw blade. In this case a 14" mitre saw. SH#%! See ya. Rod

Gooday. That a new model saw?
The 14" mitre saw. SH#%96
Does it do good job? Does it cut left and right mitres? Can it do compound angles as well?
