Greetings all,
while cleaning up for Open House, we rediscovered 2 large 2"x4" aluminum flat stock under the HAAS. One is 6’ the other is 4’. First does anyone know if this was for a dedicated use?
If it is not for a dedicated project, I move we either sell it or cut it up into sections that members can purchase for their personal projects. The only caveat is you can’t store it in the machine shop - use your personal bin or storage. Online metals prices this at about $32/foot. I propose we mark it at $25/foot to account for inflation.
Let me know before we start chopping. the money will be put toward our proposed CNC sherline mill.
Need to think if this could be used for any of the project classes we talked about last night. Could still get the $25/ft (a bargain) as class material fee. But if can be sold outright that’s all good. 10’ x $25 is about 10% of the CNC Mill with our discount.
fortunately, we’ve got several softjaw blanks in the cabinet and we’ve not been tearing up the softjaws we use on the domino project, so we’re pretty good for a long time (famous last words). so …
who wants some?
