update: I was on makita site looking for more information and I realized there was a manual that should have come with the tool. Talk about simplifying the processi’m not much for manuals, but this one is a must or at least saves a lot of trial and error, bumbling around. So if you get one without a manual – head to makita’s website and read it first.
There is hardly any documentation and learning to interpret what it tells me is probably the bigger issue. I am also color blind, but truthfully don’t know whether that matters or not. I have to say that if makita made a 10 minute video on interpreting results, this would be worth six stars! The impetus for buying this came with me needing to try and locate a drain line in a concrete slab to tie into. Yes I could just start jack hammering, but all the duct work and some of the electrical is buried in the slab as well as the plumbing. The last thing I want to do is make a nightmare out of a bad dream.
So what I have done, is started using it where I know there are stuff in the slab. Like next to a register where I know duct work ties in. Unexpectedly, the duct work doesn’t make a dot, but you can see the void in the concrete. Amazingly, this slab has welded wire and the machine actually measures the spacing. I have figured out that the dots are not to scale – which was my initial quandary – is it rebar or is it refrigerant piping??? I can tell one by depth and secondly because of the repeating pattern.
I have also found that a dim room makes the tool much easier to read the subtleties of the display. in radar mode it doesn’t display the depth. I believe that the display from top to bottom represents a cross section of the slab from top to bottom, sort of like a slice from an MRI and not an x-ray like I originally anticipated.
The last picture is in “panel mode.”. There is a 3″ copper pipe at this location which is indicated by the bright display. in panel mode studs seem to appear as a dull linear artifact.
As I said, I think there is quite a bit that an experienced user could tell me and with trial and error, I hope to get there. it really is an amazing piece of techhowever, 5 years from now it will probably look like an Atari 2600 as opposed to a PS5.
Gekauft Warehouse wie neu. Gert hatte starke Schmutzspuren. Habe einen guten Preisnachlass bekommen. Bin aber nicht berzeugt von diesen Gert fr meine Einstze. Habe das Gert gereinigt vom Vorbesitzer und zurckgeschickt. Lg.
