Default RE: Turbine size pricing

The tooling and time will be the same... and normally materials prices are going to be close... but when you are dealing with high Nickel alloys... they are very expensive, and you are looking at a price increase of at least $300 just for the guide and wheel. Also... many times, when you are setting up a new parts run in a mill or lathe... you have to scrap your "Set up" parts. So in that case... you have more $$$ in set up. With expensive parts... I'm sure they try not to scrap them... but it happens.

My problem is with JetCat making the little P-20 $500 more than the P60. The only reason it is more expensive is because it's competition is expensive (Kolibri) and they know they can get the $$$ for it.
