How picky are they in Washington about DIY HVAC? I looked up the relevant code
for Idaho and for doing an install on your own residence you don't need a
"certificate of competency" but may need to have the install pass a mechanical
inspection. (But many HVAC shop techs will insist that ALL such

I would go with unhooking the mill and hook up a table saw with UL listing.
Years ago, the surefire way to fail was to clean up the copper scrap before the
inspection (the scrap would disappear) and you got your green tag.I never knew
what happened to the scrap.

Replace mill with UL approved saw or similar for $100 off CL (if you
don't already have one). Call for inspection.

He is referencing state statue WAC 296-46B-903. 2005 NEC phased in a listed
requirement in Article 110. I'm not sure how it has evolved but there might
be exceptions now, though, state requirements usually prevail over NEC in
my experience. Could be a dead end but worth a look.

Hi,
Why not contact UL themselves to ask more informations ?
They may be helpful if you join a desctription of you machine
on how this would be applicable and give hints on how to
handle the certification.
What I don't get is which parts need be certified, like small
motors and so on, is the
After thinking about it more this seems ridiculous. You are not running a
machining business, you are building your own machines for personal use.
Why can't you just say you are a machine developer just like any other
business that develops products. Things developed in the labs are not UL
listed
My electrical inspector (in WI) never looked at my LinuxCNC machines
closely but they look like Bridgeports. He was only concerned with the
building wiring. I would move the machine to a storage unit, and replace it
with a bench and hand tools, then call the inspector and say you "got rid"
of the

Although electrical inspectors tend to be a power unto themselves they
still have to follow the rules. i.e. WAC's and local and national
electrical codes. Be as gentle as possible they tend to be prickly.
Being WW they no doubt see a bunch of EU stuff for wineries. Clearly the

In Los Angeles City, County, and in Burbank (where I work), it has been
the rule that everything used in a facility must carry the UL tag or a
testing certificate from an accredited testing facility.
It has been this way for a few decades now!
that is when lots of companies started to use UL
IMO, your building inspector is stepping way outside of his authority.
His job is "building" inspection. You got a permit for your "building"
project. Not for some machine sitting in your building.
Unless your mill is part of the "building", he is way outside of his
authority.
If your
Is the mill hard-wired or powered with a plug into a wall outlet? If the
mill plugs in then remove the power cord and place a plastic tarp over the
mill and have it re-inspected. The inspector is not able to comment on
what you might use the outlet for in the future.
If he asks, tell him you
