Hello,
Here's a question maybe someone on here can answer . We just upgraded our router to a masterwood project 315. It has just about everything but cup holders you can get on a flat table machine.
For some time other shops in town have been asking for us to cut their nested cabinet box parts. I did a few jobs but the router was tied up on my own work so I never really worked out a pricing system.
I figure I need to account for the data entry time into the nesting software, recieving in their sheet goods, loading the machine, unloading, palletizing the parts , then loading on the customers truck.
Those items above are easy to figure but what about the machine time ?
What's a fair figure?
I can anticipate tool life that's an easy one if the material is a standard item.
I know there are shops out there that do contract cutting.
If you have any insight I would appreciate it.
