Special Business

Potential Purchase of new Surface Grinder for $3500.00 Talk Discussion

  • Will sell off the one we have (900-1900 on ebay)
  • New one is safer
  • May act as a draw
  • Worried about floor space, what else could fit the space
  • Worried about more breakages -- may not be as simple to abuse though
  • Selling off the old one will require finishing it, and getting the proper release
  • Have the space allocated in the new layout already - should fit in with the layout
  • Balancing should be easier than the current
  • This will require additional tooling - surface gauge, etc - will get a list together.

Motion: Sell the current surface grinder pending purchase of another

  • Yea: 8
  • Nay: 0
  • Abstain: 1
  • Note: Not all proxies included this explicitly and thus excluded

Motion: Approve the purchase of the AMW Surface grinder for a price of 3500

  • Yea: 13
  • Nay: 4
  • Abstain: 0
