You use a $40 “wood moisture meter” to check the water content of the lumber before cutting. If you want a built-in one I suppose you could duct tape it to your saw.

- garbagewoman 3y agoWhat about some suggestions offered in good faith?
- quickthrowman 3y agoThat is how you measure the moisture content of wood, with a wood moisture meter. There’s no reason for a handheld $40 tool (that any serious woodworker will already have on hand, and one that will likely fail at some point) to be built in to a multiple thousand dollar table saw.
