Laser question

Post by straightshot »

Hello all I know it's a plasma forum , recently I purchased a used 4kw trumpf laser. Got it all up and running and I cannot figure out pricing for quoting. I can cut up to 7/8" steel 9/16 stainless and 3/8 aluminum .
Is there anyone that could give me some guidance on pricing? I could use some help
Kinda have my cost already figures out. Just trying to be competitive on the pricing and not be to high or too low. Soooo many variables to this
Plus there's high pressure cutting vs low pressure Thanks in advance.

with a laser, you have a lot more $$$ involved, power, lens, mirrors ect. but you have the advantage of speed and accuracy, I am still trying to figure out what to charge people?? I think I am cheap, but I am paying the bills, Good Luck!

Send some quotes to a few local laser shops and see if you're in the right area
