How thick of wood will this detect through? I have some old cedar posts i want to rip into boards.

The Lumber Wizard is designed to detect just under the surface of the wood to a distance of a couple inches depending on size of metal. It is ideal for planing wood. For deeper detection, you would need a very, very powerful AC powered detector and those costs many thousands of dollars.

Will end sniping be a problem with this machine?

I think you are thinking this is a planer, it is just a hand held metal detector.

Where can i purchase the lumber wizard 5 inside the eu?

Hi, We do not have any dealers in the EU but we can ship from Holly, MI USA right away. Thank you... Billy Carmen WizardDistribution online

Does this work on green wood just as well as dry?

I have used mine on trees that were standing dead. After felling the trees they were still green inside and my lumber wizard 5 worked great . It was detecting metal as deep as 6 inches. I'm very pleased with mine.
