Quoting jobs with an OMTech fiber laser
OMTech machines span hobby-friendly beds to larger industrial tables. Here's how to configure NanoQuote with realistic cut rates and hourly pricing for your OMTech setup.
Common OMTech quoting mistakes
Using manufacturer speed charts verbatim
Marketing cut charts assume ideal conditions. Real pierce counts, assist gas, and material quality slow you down.
Bed size vs usable area confusion
Quoted table size includes margins you cannot cut. Parts that barely fit cause rework and rushed quotes.
Mixing hobby and production pricing
Side-hustle rates feel fair until consumables, electricity, and your time erase margin.
No material load time
Sheet changes add minutes per nest. Ignoring load time underquotes multi-sheet jobs.
Configure NanoQuote for OMTech
Create an OMTech machine profile
Enter your actual usable bed dimensions—not the marketing table size. Name the machine so your team recognizes it.
Set a defensible hourly rate
Use the shop rate calculator: machine payment, power, consumables, rent allocation, and labor. Many OMTech shops land between $45–90/hour depending on market.
Enter conservative cut speeds
Start 15–25% below spec sheet speeds for mild steel, then tune per thickness as you verify on scrap.
Build a material library
Sheet size, price, and minimum billable utilization per material you stock. Apply automatically on every quote.
Quote from DXF, not guesses
Upload customer files to get cut length and pierce counts. Adjust rates—not geometry—when reality differs.
