Can I run reclaimed lumber through a router or planer?
| Check | Tool | What it finds |
|---|---|---|
| Surface staples and brads | Magnet on a string | Ferrous metal within 25 mm |
| Broken screws below the surface | Metal detector set to high sensitivity | Non-ferrous and deep steel |
| Grit and sand in the grain | Wire brush and a look | Silica that dulls any edge |
| Old paint and lead | Lead test swab | Hazard before any dust is made |
What a nail does: it takes a 1-2 mm chip out of the carbide and leaves a raised burr. The next pass cuts a groove and burns the timber. Hit a second nail and the bit is scrap.
If you must machine reclaimed stock: use a bit you are willing to lose, take light passes, and stop the moment the sound changes. A dull thud instead of a clean cut means metal.
