How to Quote Jobshop Work - How Much to Charge?
Video from NYC CNC. Watch on YouTube.
What you'll get
NYC CNC, a CNC training company and video channel, quotes three example parts, a simple hub, a bracket and a surfaced 3D part, to show how the number of operations, workholding, geometry and quantity change the price, with chapters on material markup, small-batch and high-volume pricing and a comparison with online quoting services. The video is from 2019 and aimed at machine shops pricing jobs for customers, so use it if you will take contract work and copy its habit of building each quote from the part's operations.
Do this week
Take one part you would make for a customer, list its operations, setup, material and run time, then price it for a batch of ten and a batch of a hundred and note how the per-part price changes.
