Hello all.
My name is Nathan, and I am about to setup my Woodworker X-50. I am interested in buying a set of drag chains (from Amazon), but don’t know what length/size I should be getting. I’d also like to know what type of aluminum channeling I would need to get, and info on how to go about getting that set up. Any, and all help would be most appreciated.
For my X-50 I went with a couple of these drag chains
I used this mounting kit from Route1 on Etsy

Aluminum L angles are two that were (1/16" × 3/4" × 3/4") 8ft long from any big box store.
My setup looks almost exactly like the photos on the Etsy link from Route1.
I did my own “long” wiring since I run a water cooled spindle, so can’t really help on that part of the solution. I see Route 1 offers extension cables but have no experience with them or any others.
Hope that helps.

I purchased the same drag chains as the above Amazon one.
