I will be purchasing a machine in the near future.
how are yall pricing work. My plan is to do ornamental and also production.
I’m pretty affordable at $100/hour so that’s how I price it.
There are tons of “charts” including excel files and more that float around the internet for this sort of stuff.
Problem is, where you are in the world will largely affect not only your cost for raw material, but also your suggested labor rate.
Not only will labor rates vary greatly in different parts of the country, but also the experience you bring to the table.

We do 105 Canadian an hour for shop and
CAD services. Plus materials.
If I have to provide materials we put 50% on our cost of materials.
If there’s any larger runs of things we price per project.
I’m currently running a 217 pc and a 610 pc part run that that I did estimation based on the 105 an hour labour plus materials.

Whitefish. I tried to get it in the right spot… even overlaid a google earth map over the state but it might not be quite right.

No, I think you nailed it. Anything this side of the divide is beautiful country. I’ve always said it looks like God drew a line down a third of Montana. Everything west of that line is gorgeous, then it all turns brown and desolate until you get to Minnesota
