Feel like every quote they write is a shot in the dark

Have been burned by material costs, missed features, or surprise inspection demands

Use slitting saws, glue and tape, or even manual mills to solve wild quoting puzzles

Are trying to raise prices without losing customers (or their minds)

Quoting mistakes (and the weird lessons learned)

Setup strategies for weird parts—including a $2,000 block of PEEK

Expediting nightmares, tooling tricks, and the soft jaw rabbit hole

Whether automation, zero-point systems, or tape-and-glue workholding actually change how you price jobs

When to send a “go away” quote—and when it backfires
