Hey all!
Happy belated Turkey day.
The job: Bore and internal broach a keyway, to accept a 1" keyed shaft
Material: Customer supplied, pre-cut to length, Ø1.937" x 20" lg. 1018crs
Machine: Genos L300M, live tooled, 2" bar machine.
Qty: 11 pcs
Work scope:
Here is the issue, and why I am looking for a price check.
The writing of the broaching part of the program (and successive emails back/forth from Okuma applications, spanning over a week, and a holiday) took forever.
I am willing to eat that specific programming portion, as I/ we needed to learn, and it is now an easy task to change the variables, scaling up or down.
Since I cannot charge for "learning curve" time on my end, the recorded "on-job time" is artificial.
I am looking at what the job "should cost"
Assume a shop had to do the drilling/ boring, then send out for keyway cutting, shipping each way....
Here is my question to the group, and I suspect the answers will vary from one end of the spectrum to the other.
What would YOU charge for this job????
I am trying to get away from just time/material = cost, and working towards what the part "should cost" for the industry served, tolerance, and specialty of the work.
Thanks all,
Doug.
