    Zac...a photograph of the connections on the capacitor and a photograph of all the printing on the capacitor would eliminate a lot of the discussion here.

    I agree with earlier comment, a replacement would preferably be soldered or crimped.

    The drill press would be considered a consumer product and therefore should have a UL listing. Harbor Freights 8" drill presses have the UL listing. Twenty years ago Underwriters Lab did not approve wire nuts as an acceptable method of wiring terminations and would not issue a listing or certification. I doubt if that has changed. One should not try to equate a consumer product with an industrial piece of equipment or installation as some rules are different. Just trying to provide information for your decision.
