Background
The space currently has a Epilog Mini 12"x24" laser but its tube has a huge number of hours on it and needs replacing. A replacement tube to upgrade the laser from 30W to 60W will cost $8700 from epilog and require 2 weeks of down time including shipping to and from Epilog factory in Colorado. A replacement 30W tube will be $1195 with a $1555 core charge refundable after the old tube is returned. Along with the tube we need new lenses and mirrors, and a replacement bed:
- Bed - PN MX855 - $155
- Mirrors - PN TT009-TA - $32.55
- Lens - FT805 - $125.95
- Tube - Tube - $1195
Language
Authorize the BoD to spend up to $2000 on acquiring a 30W Tube and required parts to service the Epilog Laser including a new bed. Also authorize them to place a core deposit of up to $2000 on the 30W tube to be refunded when Epilog receives our old tube.
