Well, that didn't go well
 The pictures seem to open up fine in a new tab. Let me know if I need to do something another way? Also, sorry for poor pictures and messy shop. I recently have been moving things around since a 75 square foot chunk of space just got occupied  Mark

Thanks Tom...no number yet, but I check back frequently
By the way, did you change the thread heading? I've wanted to do that for quite some time (I have been finished with X rail and gantry questions for a while)? Mark

No, you crazy? they'd never give me admin access! Good thing too, I'd have titles with no relevance.

That's weird...someone just changed it...but no number yet?
I think they should give you admin access for a day, that could turn out interesting? And to answer your question, nope not crazy...my parents have had me tested many times...I don't meet the criteria  Mark

Congrats on getting your number. Obviously getting the machine working is the most important part, but the serial number brings a sense of closure. Of course the real work now begins!

Sure thing, Al.
If there were a "truth in thread titles" law, we would all probably share my thread title. I'm still having fun.

Would anyone care to share anything on how they charge for CNC services?
I am assuming hourly for actual cutting time, setup charge, design charge hourly? From what little I can find, looks like $50/hour on the very low end to $150 and more... I know there are a ton of factors (and I am looking in the US). Mark

Mark,
This has been reviewed before, and as your aware, the market will bear what it will bear. I know some locally charge the following: - 50$ a run hour + setup - per part (negotiated) - per design run. For instance, I cut out 100 "flower motifs of MDF"....that was 150.00 Nominal charges on each job - required. - client provide material - tooling charge (cost as-is per required to cut if something other than standard 1/4" carbide run-of-the-mill bit.) - CAD/CAM drafting time if part wasn't in a good DXF or other easy to toolpath file. ..... Or, "yeah - I can do that for 300 bucks....you have a drawing?"
