Routing power from VFD to spindle

Hey John,

@jnordyke

I’ve seen some with a hose boom tying the cable to their vacuum hose, but that seems like a pretty static-laden path.

I would not use this path because it makes spindle power cable unnecessary longer. But as for static electricity, it is dangerous and can lead to fire inside the dust collection system, therefore it has to be prevented by grounding the dust collection system like shown here. And if grounded, there is no danger if you want to drag the spindle power cable this way.

@Dr-Al had the cable attached from the ceiling at that moment which I find a fast and quick solution.

One youtube link that I posted in the same thread has been clicked many times, it shows a simple solution if you find drag chains too complicated .

Note that for the cable it is better to be bent on different parts over its entire length (like in the drag chain) than always on the same part (as shown in the video).
