== Background ==

The Epilog laser is one of the most used machines at PS1. Occasional wait times and high usage rates suggest that a second laser would be a welcome addition to PS1. The Epilog laser while very precise and accurate, suffers from:
*Low wattage - It's only 35 watts
*Small cutting area - 12"x24"
*High replacement cost - spare parts are expensive

This proposal seeks funding for a new laser cutting/engraving system to accomplish the following:
*bridge the gap between current cnc and laser capabilites at PS1
*improve throughput of laser jobs - less wait time from 2 machines and overall faster cutting
*more wattage - means being able to cut/engrave faster and through thicker materials (up to a
*larger cut area

After much research and consideration, the [https://www.bosslaser.com/industrial-co2-lasers-36/boss-ls-4055.html#.V4hkKvkrKUk 150w BOSS LS-3655] is a machine that matches all the above criteria.

The machine has a display that show the current job running.

Boss Laser's support has been very responsive, answering any questions and providing information on their machines and options.

The total machine cost is $14,947 and includes:
*150w laser tube
*ventilation system
*fan cooled water chiller

The additional funds are for infrastructure to run exhaust venting, electricity and air hookups. Should any budget remain, spare parts and/or rotary attachment may be purchased.
