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!

Thank you, it's been a long road. It is nice to see the first builds are still hanging around the forum.
John, I will send you apm for the build log. I will post some of my projects....most likely will make some lady bugs...I hear good things about them Mark One One Niner |

Lady bugs are o.k.
A gear, now that is something else eh Darren. |
#146

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?" |
