Ron Olson
== 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 ([http://www.millerwelds.com/products/tig/product.php?model=M00488| 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 [http://www.hotrod.com/how-to/additional-how-to/1409-miller-syncrowave-210-tigstick-welder/| this review].
== Language ==
We authorize the board to spend up to $5000 to acquire a TIG welder and all necessary accessories.
