Goal
To purchase a vertical bandsaw appropriate for cutting metals down to sizes that can be easily manipulated in the other cold metal machines (ie Bridgeport mill, drill press, etc.). The purchased vertical bandsaw should be capable of cutting down metals at least 3 inches thick and at least 24 inches long.
Background
The cold metals area at PS1 is currently well stocked to work with materials that are already cut down to small sizes (sizes less than about 6"x6"). However, most bought materials do not come in sizes this small. The natural solution to this problem is for PS1 to invest in a vertical bandsaw.
Certification
The certification of the proposed vertical bandsaw will fall under the 'tier 1' certification process as it is a non-precision tool.
Location
Ideally the proposed vertical bandsaw would be located in the cold metals area, if there is not space available directly in the cold metals area the vertical bandsaw would be located as close to the cold metals area as space allows.
Ongoing expenses
This proposal is only for a one time payment for the purchase of a vertical bandsaw. However, like any other tool in the cold metal area, any vertical bandsaw purchased will require periodic work and care. An obvious extended cost for a vertical bandsaw would be sharpening and replacement of the blade. The upkeep and blade care of the vertical bandsaw would fall under the purview of cold metals area host and their operating budget.
Language
The voting membership hereby authorizes Dean Anderson to buy a metal cutting bandsaw at auction, and arrange for delivery of same to PS1. Price including delivery and repairs shall be not more than $2,000. The Board of Directors shall make financial arrangements with Dean to execute payment in a manner acceptable to the auction company and PS1.
Notes
Are there any potential vertical bandsaws on the market now? (This would be a good spot to list them.)
Are the any vertical bandsaws that people are particularly fond of? Listing them here will help allow Dean to know what to hunt for.
