There is an option, probably in Options, User Preferences to have user input over-ride snaps and other automatic types of input.

Why not work the revision history in reverse. I.E.
Save the oldest version as PartName and PartNameOrig.
Save next oldest version as PartNameA.
Use PartName in the assembly.
Save the Latest ALWAYS as PartName. Now the assembly will always update. If older assemblies are needed use the latest...
You may have a capacitor problem or the 205V is too low to start the motor.
Why not consider using a three phase 208/230/460 Volt motor for the compressor. This will probably require a new motor starter to cycle the compressor on/off with the pressure switch. Once the conversion is made,future...
Climax makes a portable milling setup which may be useful if the actual rigging of the shafts is the problem.
Another suggestion to handle the multiple diameters is to make precision shims to go under the V blocks to easily level the different diameters. Some type of key or pins in the bottom...
Many small commercial motors bypass the standard NEMA rating and use momentary peak available HP for the advertised rating. Look at the "Cheap" compressors available from companies such as Harbor Freight that sell 6.5HP compressors for $400. A good industrial motor alone is close to...
Regarding the power factor of the motor. Assuming it an AC Induction Motor, then it definitely is not a constant or almost constant. It is very low at low loads and improves as the load on the motor increases. For this reason, it is usually best to size a motor close to the full load...
I would definitely look at 11L41. It should make a significant improvement in machining with almost no drawbacks except a slight cost difference. It is widely available.
The closest thing available is probably the Thomas Register.<br>
Their site has a nice search engine based upon vendor name or product.<br>

Pipes are made to industry standards. Diameters and wall thickness has been established for many different pipe sizes.<br>
Tubing can be of any size and wall thickness. Only the need will dictate the availability of a tubing size.
Torque limiters are also commonly found built as a part of a machine coupling/drive element. The device will drive or couple two parts up to a given torque. At that point it will either "slip" and maintain the desired torque level or disengage. Controls are necessary to effectively use these...
