Hi Jesse,

    I would be very careful with using any power supply not specifically
    designed for anodizing and or plating due to the issues you raise
    about line isolation. In fact I would suggest that any anodizing
    power supply be run off of a separate isolation transformer to limit
    the possibility of electrocution. Even low voltage power supplies
    can kill you under the right circumstances so make sure you are
    following all the appropriate safety precautions. Always use high
    quality rubber gloves that you have inspected for holes or worn
    areas while working with anodizing equipment. Make sure your wall
    outlets are GFCI protected so that if there is a leakage path back
    to ground the circuit will be interrupted. 

Have fun but be safe,
Jim Binnion
