Hello. I repeatably get asked, oh while i got you on the phone...what monitor do you use? what crimpers do you like? what prox switches are good?, what heat shrink is good? etc.etc.. so in an effort to answer those questions i started this page.. "DIY CNC Gear and Tools we use but don't sell." https://www.centroidcnc.com/centroid_di ... _gear.html
The page is just a start, but i hope to add more items to it as i get the time.
Also if you have something you think would be a good thing to add that you think might make life easier for the next guy post it here on this thread so, maybe a new CNC builder can gain from all our time of trial and error using different tools and such so they can do it right the first time!

Re: DIY CNC Gear and Tools we use but don't sell.
Anyone have suggestions on cable to use for limit switches that is oil resistant and made for constant flexing, like on a knee mill?

Cheers,

Confidence is the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.
I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are where they should be.

+1. There are other similar chainflex products that work as well.
Automationdirect sells a number of the chainflex products by the foot.
It's slightly cheaper to by them from igus directly, but a little more of a hassle.
