Protovale: Totalscan TS8 Metal Detector for timber

TS8 METAL DETECTOR
Locates both ferrous and non-ferrous metal -- including shrapnel
How many bandsaws have you ruined this year? A Totalscan would have been cheaper!

Specifically designed for the timber industry

Mill down-time, saw doctoring costs, and missed delivery schedules all make hitting metal in timber a very costly exercise. Buying and transporting timber to a sawmill, only to have it rejected because of metal contamination, wastes both time and money.

Finds the exact position of deeply buried metal

Accurately pinpoints nails buried up to 34cm (13") and gatehooks up to 61cm (24") which reduces wastage on quality timber.

Save money; reduce saw doctoring costs

Prevent damage to expensive bandsaws.

Save money; reduce transport costs

Check timber with a Totalscan TS8 first.

Uses Protovale's unique technology

Searches equally well through hardwood, softwood, wet or dry, hot or cold.

Tough yet lightweight

The Totalscan TS8 is built to withstand the hard life of a sawmill.

Easy to use

Loud audio tone and clear analogue meter.
Only one control knob for all functions.

Automatic sensitivity / zero button

An auto-sensitivity button allows you to rapidly home in on the target.

You don't have to hit many pieces of metal to see how much you could save with the TS8. I don't think you can improve on it. It's a useful and precise instrument.
