S/S job price

[natewelding]

Had a guy ask how much to cut 24 pieces of 14 ga. 304 s/s. 6" circle with a 2.75 inner circle. Was wondering what you guys would charge for the whole job/per cutout. My cost per square foot of 304 s/s is $6.50. I was going to charge $5 to cut each one so with material mark up I was going to charge about $184.00 for the whole job. Just wondering what everyone else would get.

Thanks!

I charge the same price for cutting SS as I do for CR or HR steel. The only difference would be the cost of the material which SS is obviously more. If they provide the material, the cut is the same price, if I provide material then SS obviously would be more money. On top of that, there is a large markup for polishing or brushing stainless over steel.
