Best way for obtaining new work
Look at the parts that side of the business purchases, can you make those inhouse instead? If they are doing repairs, what parts are failing? Can those be made better or of superior materials? What do you know from your experiences that people in other shops don't know or know as well as you...- Kingbob

Request for Help with Custom Lathe Headstock
they make lathes that can handle 600mm diameter workpieces, if budget is not a constraint I/we don't understand the need to seemingly reinvent the wheel. What are you trying to accomplish that you must start from raw materials to achieve? Perhaps someone in the community has some advise on how... -

How would you build a sound proof compressor room?
You can vent to out side air through a set of baffled plywood boxes mounted up on the wall in addition to the above. Seen it on YouTube lol. -

How to deburr this? I dont know how to get at the inside edge. I have tried using the squiggly deburring tool but that does not do a very good job.
I'd tear thin strips of 240 grit sand paper off of a roll and "floss" them. Edit: @dandrummerman21 had the best idea though if hey let you, sandblast -

Help milling slot with tight tolerance
Rob!, A+ 100. First time poster showing up with all his info and ducks in a row. I am impressed. Yes, as stated above let's first check run out and secondly let's not try to cut 1/2" with a 1/2" cutter. My only deviation from the above advise is to go with a 12mm endmill over a 31/64" as you...- Kingbob

Anybody make a small bevel protractor?
I feel your pain. I use the above starrett and often use it on its edge and use the end of the rule as my 90° surface. I have been contemplating getting a new one and chopping off most of the right side and half of the rule for tight spaces. I never thought to ask if anyone had a better option... -

Precision Degree in the ID
I/we cut very small valve seats so yes I am familiar with compound angles on ID's of 416ss parts. As stated above a drill is not an adequate tool for producing precision compound angles.
