This is not a monthly cost or a replacement schedule. It shows sourced examples of items that wear out or get used up.
What this estimate does not include
The small-rough path is for material within the listed trim saw's capacity, not large slabbing work. Machine-specific water, drainage, ventilation, and electrical needs still require a workshop check. Sales tax, shipping or freight, raw material, replacement timing, and workshop-specific electrical or plumbing changes are not included.
