Thanks Brady, I'm all well now. This was 6 months or more ago. Yes, got to LOVE the chiropractor! Couldn't live without them.

I was lifting 4' x 8' sheets one day and didn't think anything of it. Didn't hurt anything, no issues at all. Woke up the next morning fine, within an hour or so, I was having shortness of breath. I...

Bill, I have been to that show about 3-4 years running now and I certainly can't speak for anyone else, but in the past, if you would have been there with CNC routers, you'd have been the only...

It's main usage is in temporary signs, etc. You can make things with it, they have hooks that hook them together once cut, but if you don't have a need for it, it'll probably sit for a long time. I...

I won't comment on too high or too low, but I'll throw some figures back at you.

For metal laminated acrylic, 1/4" thick, they want $26.02 for a 8" tall letter.

Gemini will sell it for $10.98...

Glad you think he's spot on. As said before, it's called opinion. In your opinion, you think he's right, in my opinion (and others here), they think the price was high. Maybe you're not reading my...

Great story Charles, thanks so much for sharing it!

From the original post, that was $200 for the first hour, $150 for each additional hour, so that would be $1,250 per clock :D

I count it a straight split down the middle. Seems about 5 people think it's too high and 5 people think it's fine. That's a tie, not a minority :)

Color Core.

Well done! Beautiful sign and a beautiful delivery truck too :)

I don't see where it's a pissing match at all. I see someone that asked for opinions on pricing and people have offered their opinions, which the original poster asked for. I've repeatedly said that...

Must not be too losing of a strategy, we've been in business since '98 or so and I've been here doing it for the last 4 years. We have increased our business, profits, and revenue for the last 4...

You won't be for long charging me $200 per hour for wholesale work. If you can get it, good for you, but your pricing should be based on value, not based on whether or not you have higher expenses...

So, as a customer, why should I use your services? If you are small and need to make $200 per hour to survive, and the big company down the street has 10 people and charges $75 per hour, how's that...

I'm just amazed at how many people think $60 per hour is "giving your work away". I operate in a market that will not pay much more than that. I met with another company not too long ago and they had...

Joe, I don't think making $60 per hour wholesale is "cheap". I do quite a bit of wholesale work and I've never been called "cheap", but what I have been called many times is "fair", which is a title...

Joe, thanks for your input. I'm not new to the business, the business has been around since 1998, so I'm very familiar with how to price. I can tell you I worked in small job shops and large...

Joe, $1,000 per day, 8 hours is $125 per hour. That's almost 1/2 of what he's charging.

I've stand by my comment, I've never seen wholesale sign work go for $200 per hour. I'm not sure I've seen...

Sounds way high to me, but if you're getting it, good for you.

$200 per hour? If you charged me that I'd be looking for another vendor. You're doing wholesale work. If you're charging me $200 per...

Ramping the holes changes everything, instead of trying to do all that in 2 inches, it's doing all that in many times that (however many times you make it go around the hole to get to depth), which...

I can't speak from a technical standpoint, just a general observation from being around CNC machines for a long time, 2" per second (120 ipm) is crazy fast for trying to do a small hole. The machine...

Extruded is the normal you'll find in stock most places. Cast is more a specialty item where people need the properties of it for something they are doing that requires it.

I've never seen any...

Excellent! You're all set on that front then!

Cast versus extruded shouldn't be in the discussion if I'm understanding what you're trying to do. Cast vs. Extruded is a big deal with lasers, but your router won't care which one is it, in my...
