Finally getting to wiring in the new control. It’s a lot in a small space.

Wow! I'm impressed with your component placement and wiring tidiness, considering the space constraints. The labeled shrink wrap are things dreams are made of.

Made a little progress on the lathe today. There are plenty of holes for cable pass through in the enclosure.
Drew up a snap together cable gland that uses existing holes and fasteners.
Holds the cable nicely.

Almost done with wiring on the lathe. Waiting on some stuff to arrive to finish the encoder wiring and I'll be done.
Lower cabinet:
There are a few spots that could use a blanking plate. 3d printed this one. Worked out well.
It looks like originally there was a cover for the axis ball screw. It's long gone.
Cut this out of 12ga mild steel. It's way over kill, but the sheet was on the plasma. Worked well.
Close to be wrapped up.
I have a lot of learning to do before I'll be doing anything meaningful with the lathe. I ordered a few tools. I have a lot of tool holders I bought a while back. Need to get a small assortment of tools and sort out using the conversational programming to make a part. The encoder will allow for threading.
