Is the OP trying to insure the machine tools, or is he worrying that the
insurance company might take exception to their presence if too large?


Both, really. I cannot see them worrying about a X2 mill (they don't, I
discussed it with them). I can see raised eyebrows at a 20x60 lathe in the
spare bedroom. I wondered what the general experience was and if there was
any sense of a cut-off in these matters. At what point will the machine
becomes uninsurable under the ordinary household policy and at what point it
might be construed as a hazard to the rest of the dwelling.

Asking the insurance company is not always the best policy.

I know that I am not allowed to weld within 25 feet of the buildings. OTOH I
am allowed to solder.

I am not allowed to have a web site - this would make me into a *business*.
