 Buzz lets take your example of a jewelers vise: so the non greasy vise is put in a plastic bucket (needs to be non conducting) with the proper polarity wire attached to it. The other electrode needs to "surround it" so for a small vise I might use a chunk of steel pipe that will surround the vise but not touch it. The idea is to not short out the battery charger.

| Using stainless as an electrode produces some really nasty haz-mat quality by products. All the advice I have seen is not to use it. You only need electrodes 180 degrees or 120 degrees apart for coverage. Surrounding the part with electrode is better as there is more electrode and a shorter distance.

| IIRC time is a basis of current density so for very small items and very long times it might work. I just picked up a 24 volt charger for an electric wheelchair that I plan to use for my new derusting setup.
