My post has three questions. This project is for a sub panel located in my workshop. I have been working on this for about 6 months and now see a couple of issues I didn't identify in the beginning. It is a time consuming project that I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel!
I have attached the pictures for ease of interpretation.
Q: I have a main lug configuration, which according to the diagram below says it should be in the same building; can I use this sub-panel in an out building or am I wrong right out of the box?
Q: I also saw that MY bonding rod IS connected, and should be disconnected for this application? I have a grounding rod,but the diagram I saw shows not to apply this in this configuration? Will it hurt to add the rod or is it redundant.
My wire to feed from my main breaker box is type TC-ER THHN/THUN CDRS DIRECT BURY (#6-3C THHN-PVC Tray Cable with Ground) on a 60A breaker.

Q: The second part of my post is that I have a sander that is labeled 110v/28a.
I want to add a circuit dedicated to this machine. The machine is 22 years old and I don't know where the wiring diagram could be, so I don't want to convert it to 220v.
So, I am looking for a 30a outlet & I have not looked for the 30a single pole breaker (if there is such), but all I see is for RV applications.
I assume that I will need to replace the plug on the machine to match the outlet, but am not sure what to use.
I need some additional help with this.
Thank you in advance for your help.
