If a guy around here wanted 300 to grind a crankshaft, without indexing, stroke correction etc.. he would starve.
There is a TON of work around here, there are over 14 dealerships alone in a 8 mile radius, plus the tracks are within an hr away, 3 or 4. They are short on machinists, and the work is piling up. You have what over there again? People are searching for a good machine shop near you saying there almost no one left... Too many are trying to sell a "rounder" wheel...and pay for their new machine. It's all good. Even 200 is fair compared to the 300 you mentioned.no wonder a lot of guys can't stay in the hobby when the shops are killing the hobby.
