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 are thinking of buying a Tesla Model 3 and want need an outlet to plug in a 100 amp charger. If the mill is hardwired then he has a point.
