    Air Compressor Capacitor Help

    Yes, I should be able to read the capacitors, but I can't, and the friend I showed them to can't either, the paint is just faded badly and somewhat gone.

    Tips on building a large vibratory polisher?

    I am planning to build a good sized vibratory polisher (Mr. Deburr 6000 for example), not a small table top 'bowl' shaker. If anyone has done it, what are the "wish I knew before" advice that would have been helpful? What frequencies worked best? What mass of weight, and on what offset...

    Mill as a drill press?

    Can a small mill (think Grizzly bench top) be used a drill press "as is" or does it need a special adapter, or is this just a really bad idea? Obviously it's not production work, just a few hobbyist pieces, mostly small bore stuff for safety wiring bolts and nuts.
