Needs to be glanded correctly at both ends! Regardless of the type of installation.  Having the load end gland connected to something conductive is however, dependent on installation. 

How much did you pay for the EICR. In cases like this (not always) cheapest quote, is usually the cheapest for a reason. You get the bare minimum. 

Just look at how badly drawn the "crumple zones" are. In this case it's very obvious. 

It's also a photoshopped image..

Why not try something on https://www.skillshare.com/ (Other learning sites are available, just this ones one I've used). Loads of different courses that teach just about anything on anything. Think it cost me a tenner a month for access to everything they offer. 

There is no way you could possibly know you had Covid-19 in March 2019.  Did you have tests back then confirming it?

In the grand scheme of things 2020 hasn't really been all that bad. We're all still living in a first world country with far more benefits and freedoms than a lot of the world. Even with the lockdowns!

My car insurer in the USA gave me and all of its members quite a substantial rebate on car insurance due to less usage.  My car insurance in the UK tried again to increase my premium with an automatic renewal.

If it's anything like sellafield almost 1000% more.  Installation time was same as standard. Paperwork took months.  Edit: This was for a control system, nothing fancy though and nothing safety related.  The safety projects I've done there, forget it, unless you're employing someone full time...

I've had it.  An it showed I have antibodies for it.  Wasn't unexpected with the amount I travel for work.  I've not had any symptoms.  Nothing wrong with needles. Far less intrusive than donating blood.

No, you can't put 2 legs of a split phase system an create 3 phase with only a transformer.  Strip the motor out, find one that will run on 230V three phase and still meets your other requirements, size, rrpm etc..  Then buy an inverter to run it.  All of this I presume is for personal home...

What you want to do is possible.  Unless you got this new lathe at an extremely low low price, you'd have saved a ton of money getting something suitable. 

Salt and vinegar is prefered.
