Hello there.
I am possibly getting bought out and was wanting to find out from you guys, what a fair value is for my machines.
1) 2001 Haas VF3 horizontal tool changer 4th axis. Low hours and in real nice shape, only used it to cut aluminum and plastic. Has all the bells and wistles except chip auger.
2) 2008 VF2 high speed machining, horizontal tool changer. Low hours, used to cut only plastic and aluminum. Real nice shape as well. All the bells and wistles except chip auger.
No chrashes on either machine, as it was me only running these and I know what they went thru.
The place that I do most of my work for is considering buying me out.
I have over 200 part number programs that I have in my computers also, what should I charge them for these? I don't have set-up sheets for them though, as I went from my memory and could use the programs to decifer all info for set-ups.
Finally, they would like to hire me to head up their machining operations, what is a fair wage for a head of machine shop person? Someone that will operate, oversee others, purchase and run QC as well?
Thanks a lot fellas
Jimmy
