Hi all,
I have an embarrassingly old version of office, but I made a cost estimating template in xcel several years ago for outside sales people for steel rule die cutting. I changed it a bit to perhaps help some of the very new-comers here. I use a somewhat different and much more complicated version now due to my boss being an engineer and requiring redundant information (what a surprise). If you erase all my notes you should have a usable template. I was surprised to see that it came out close to the $1.00 per minute that many of you use, but it is a way to get your information "on paper" so to speak. It's pretty easy to change it to fit what works best for you.
I don't know actual time for many operations like color fill or bending like people need help with, but of course that will come with experience. :rolleyes:
Still looking for my first laser for myself but I'm getting so much information going through old posts. Thanks to everybody for being so generous with your time and input. :D
