Quoting for shops that cut material
You priced the steel.
Did you price the remnant?
KraftyQuote builds the whole cost stack — bar stock yield, kerf loss, belt and consumable burn, machine hours, scrap allowance and the marketplace's cut — then solves for the price that actually holds your margin. Before the first cut.
No card. No signup to run the numbers.
12 × 10½" chef knife blanks
1084 carbon steel · 1.5" × 0.125" flat bar
48" stock · 0.090" abrasive kerf
The $14 nobody costs
Selling the same knife in two places is not the same job.
Most costing tools stop at COGS and hand you one number. But a marketplace takes its cut off the top, and if you carry your show price straight onto Etsy you quietly hand back a third of your margin. KraftyQuote keeps a fee profile for 26 channels and re-solves the retail price for each one.
Same blade. Same margin. Two prices.
The blank above costs $71.27 to put in a customer's hand. Holding a 45% margin means clearing $129.58 after the platform is paid — so the listing price has to move, or the margin does.
Fee profiles cover Etsy, Faire, Shopify, Amazon Handmade, Whatnot, eBay, craft shows, wholesale terms and direct invoicing.
| Channel | Fees | List at |
|---|---|---|
| Direct / show | $0.00 | $129.58 |
| Etsy | $14.10 | $143.68 |
| Wholesale, 50% | — | $259.16 |
One job, five stations
The quote doesn't stop being useful once you've sent it.
Each stage hands its output to the next, so the cost model you built to win the job is the same one that lays out the sheet, dispatches it, and decrements your stock.
KraftyQuote
Builds the cost and margin model — yield, waste, machine time, channel fees.
KraftyDesign
Generates parametric panel layouts sized for boxes, trays and knife blanks.
KraftyNest
True-shape nests those parts onto raw stock and tracks the remnant.
KraftyFlow
Dispatches the job across the shop and groups it by material batch.
KraftyStock
Auto-decrements inventory as jobs ship, so the next quote prices real stock.
Free, no signup
