The daily rate is based on an 8-hour day.

THE GOING RATE

What does CMM programming and inspection cost per hour?

CMM programming and inspection services in the United States generally run somewhere between $75 and $235 per hour depending on who is doing the work: rate-compressed contract houses at the low end, the OEM's own applications engineers at the top. Our rate is $125 per hour, in the middle of that range, for thirty years of measurement experience, seventeen of them at an OEM, and it shows up at your machine. The daily rate brings the effective number down further, and every rate on this page is published.
