What is yall's crank regrinding costs these days......

[bandit67]

My move to a small town has pushed me into finding the closest machine shop that can regrind cranks. The shop I chose was about an hours drive away. They did a couple for me a while back at $150 each and did a good job. Just got three more back, a cast and a forged 440, and a forged 413, I think. The new charge was $250 each. I was kinda shocked at the jump in price. While I paid a lump sum to an older racer for a truck load of his lifelong accumulations, I figure I got $50-$60 bucks in the old cores. What are stock aftermarket cranks costing these days? At $300 bucks each , I don't think I can get my money back , even at the swap meets. What are y'all paying these days.

I dunno but I used to pay about $150 a couple of decades ago so $250 doesn't sound that bad. New cranks seem to be about $1k today so $300 plus a bit for you doesn't seem too bad if a stock stroke is what a person needs. Whenever I buy a new crank I pay a machinist to check it out too, so that adds to the new cost as well.

I talked to a machinist the other day who said they keep raising prices on their engine stuff, but still aren’t making any money.
Economy is out of wack.
