Other business (items not covered by regular meeting sections) may be added to this section up to 48 hours before start of committee meeting.

We have recently been approved for a $1000 grant designed to help volunteers. Our application made the case that safer equipment allows us to reduce the barrier to teaching people with a particular focus on a replacement table saw.

The DeWalt DWE7491-XE 2000W is approximately within our price range ($1,245) and has the added benefit of being more portable (and storable) than our current Triton saw.

The lowest retail cost from an authorized distributor appears to be both Sydney Tools and Mitre 10 with other retailers coming in between $5 and 104 over. Given our previous relationship with Sydney Tools (product support, equipment demos, donations) my preference is that we purchase the saw through them.

In line with our Code of Conduct a potential conflict of interest needs to be disclosed: Beau is currently employed by Sydney Tools.

Motion (if required)

Purchase the DeWalt DWE7491-XE 2000W from Sydney Tools
