History
- First Draft of Proposal: 7/6/2015
- Mailing List Announcement: TBD
- Officially Proposed: TBD
- To be Voted on: TBD
Background
PS1, as an organization, owns only a single MIG welder, the Lincoln_Electric_3200HD; all other machines are owned by members and subject to going away at any time. The 3200HD is a good machine that is appropriate for steel, but inadequate for more 'delicate' materials, like aluminum.
Why Should We Get This?
Having a PS1-owned TIG machine gives all members more opportunities to make cool stuff without running into the limitations of what the MIG welder can do.
Have a Particular Machine in Mind?
Yes, the Miller Syncrowave 210 (| Syncrowave 210 page on Miller's site). Why this machine? In my research, involving multiple conversations with Miller reps (at Wisco's event of 6/9 and 6/10) and lots of research online, I think this particular machine covers the most bases for what members at PS1 would want: a capable machine with a simple interface that still provides a lot of tweaks for those folks who would want it. For a review of this particular machine, see this review.
Language
We authorize the board to spend up to $5000 to acquire a TIG welder and all necessary accessories.
