Background

The Tormach currently has only one 5" machinist vise on the table which makes secure workholding of longer components challenging. We would like to procure an additional vise of the same design to assist with holding longer components. It also will add a level of redundancy in case the current vice should be damaged or fail for any reason.

Vote Language

Authorize the BoD to spend up to $549 + tax on acquiring a second Tormach 5" Precision Angle Lock Machinist Vise for installation in the Tormach. This authorization shall expire at midnight on December 31, 2022.
