Press Brake

[BROWNI]

I would like someone to explain me how to estimate bending cost with press brake? I am a water jet operator and estimation for water jet cutting is really simple but I can't figure that out with press brake.Do we have to use a software or is there way to do it by hand? any help will be appreciated!!

Call the machine time $80 an hour for setup time most setups will take between 3-20 min and then cost per each bend whether it requires two or more pieces. So on and so forth
