Re: How do you quote your parts?
I have a $350.00 minimum charge. If you bring it to me and I have to sit down at the computer and make a program it's gonna cost you $350.00.
I had a guy come by about a year ago to ask if I could make a bracket for him to mount a camera on his remote control drone type helicopter. I told him one piece would be $500.00, 50 pieces would be $45.00 each. He didn't understand it doesn't matter if you're making one part or 50, program time is the same.
If I can do what you want on a drill press, then go to Subway and buy me a sandwich, but if I have to put it on the CNC, that's going to cost you some money.
I mean, I have a $16,000.00 investment here. Why should I run it for free? Would you?
You can buy GOOD PARTS or you can buy CHEAP PARTS, but you can't buy GOOD CHEAP PARTS.
