I've been looking out for one of these http://cgi.ebay.co.u...:B:EOIBSA:UK:31 for a while - the idea is to couple it to a milling jar, suspend the whole caboodle on some springs and hey presto you have a vibratory mill! Maximum force is something like 60Kgf, considerably more than yer average ball mill I guess, hopefully will do the job much quicker.

And be much more dangerous though?

It's a good idea (if the forces are not that large) for emptying a mill jar!

Wasn't thinking of using it for milling BP or other mixes - more for grinding up component chems. When I worked in a lab we had a disc mill working on this principle and it was amazingly efficient

That's cool then!

I've used a kind of mortar and pestle that is a huge ball (instead of a pestle) in a mortar and the whole thing vibrates like mad.

Err... why bother? Arbour presses and pnematic presses fill that job easily, hell even a workshop wooden vice is good enough.
