MAG-ic Probe WiFi Thickness Caliper

NEW!!  MAG-ic Probe WiFi

MAG-ic Probe is an Electronic thickness gauge capable of accurately measuring the thickness of any non-ferromagnetic materials. The primary design is geared toward the Luthier industry. Luthiers create custom wooden musical instruments of all types using great skill and craftsmanship. These instruments range from guitars, mandolins, violins, bass and ukelele and most of them rely on specific thicknesses of the wooden plates that make up the top, sides and back of the instrument. Luthiers use their skill an experience to produce a certain voice or tone from these wooden plates. The MAG-ic probe is designed to assist in measuring these critical thicknesses when other tools do not work or are just too cumbersome. MAG-ic Probe provides an easy and affordable tool that can measure the thickness of large plates and is especially useful for measuring thicknesses on fully assembled instruments. Luthiers also find useful information in measuring thicknesses of vintage or classic instruments. MAG-ic Probe uses magnetism to penetrate the material to be measured. A probe is applied to one surface of the plate and a ball is applied to the opposite side. These attract each other so when the probe is moved along the surface of the material, the magnetic ball follows underneath and the MAG-ic Probe tool will measure and display the thickness in both mils (1/1000th inch) and millimeters (mm)

MAG-ic Probe may be used to measure the thickness of any non-ferromagnetic material up to 15mm. This includes Wood, Plastics, Aluminum, Copper and composite sheet materials.

NEW for 2021.....MAG-ic Probe WiFi allows many options for viewing the measurements described below.  

1) MAG-ic Probe Software

The free MAG-ic Probe Lite software will allow you to upload a picture of the instrument to your computer. Simply move and aim the mouse pointer at the location on the picture where you are measuring with the MAG-ic Probe, and the measurement will be recorded on the picture. You can map the entire surface of the instrument in this way and print or save the measured image for a permanent record.

The optional MAG-ic Probe PRO software goes further by allowing your measurements to be displayed as a color contour map of the instrument. This makes it easy to instantly see the contour of the plate for progressive shaping or comparative analysis.

2) Display measurements on any WiFi device.

If you do not want to record your measurements and just want to display the measurements as you are shaping or analyzing an instrument, MAG-ic Probe WiFi will now connect to any phone, tablet or computer that has WiFi capability and display the measurements without downloading any apps.

Simply join the MAG-ic Probe WiFi, open the browser on your device and connect to see your measurements in real time.

3) MAG-ic Probe Display unit.

Don't carry a phone? Don't want to bother with WiFi connections?

Well then the optional  New MAG-ic Probe Display unit may be just what you need. This is a small LCD display that will automatically connect to the MAG-ic Probe and display the measurements. It is simple to use and small enough to slip into your pocket.

The MAG-ic Probe Display unit features WiFi and Bluetooth in one device so it will also work with the previous version, the MAG-ic Probe BLE.
