Woodshop to requisition 7hp motor from old table saw

  • Aaron and the Woodshop would like to use this motor to create an upgraded dust collection system for the woodshop.
  • The old Table saw in question is more dangerous than the Sawstop machine currently used
  • Don’t anticipate having the cyclone built this month
  • Rustin moves to allow Aaron to use the motor from the table saw for a more industrial dust collection system, and sell the table to get it out of the maintenance shop. Funds generated from the sale of the table are to go to the woodshop.

Aaron Seconds 6 votes yes, 1 vote no @DECISION: The Woodshop under Aaron will take the 7hp motor out of the old table saw for use in a dust collection system, and will sell the table
