Price Every Quantity Break on Your Own Machine Shop Rates | CNC Quoting Software
Set your work centers' hourly rates and setup times and your default quantity breaks once; every new part is then priced at all of them. Here the example rates are typed in, seven breaks set, and a STEP file priced at 1 to 250 pieces.
- Part and inputs
- A STEP model of the NW-1042 mounting bracket, a QuotedPart sample part for a fictional company, and example rates typed in Settings: 3-axis VMC $115 an hour with a 60-minute setup, 5-axis $165. The rates are an example, not a real shop's.
- What it shows
- Priced at all seven default quantity breaks at once on the rates just typed: setup and programming split over the lot, run time and material per part. The milling line runs at $115 an hour, and every quantity shows the unit price, lead time and line total the buyer sees.
- Recorded on
- The live app at quotedpart.com, nothing sped up, on-screen text instead of a voice. Published on YouTube .
The guide that goes with it: Quantity break calculator for setup, material and run time.
