Which Connection ?

[EddyCurrent]

It's never a good idea to cut spare wires off anything, best to terminate them with some heat shrink sleeving if unused.
I'm planning to mount a terminal box to the machine where all the on board equipment will be wired to using DIN Rail mounted terminals, there will be a wall mount enclosure to house the driver boards, bob, powers supplies, VFD, etc. and this will have a similar set of terminals. All that remains is to connect the two boxes together, this will also aid in moving the machine. My industrial electrical background 'forces' me to do it this way. For signal cable CAT5 twisted pairs is quite but it's not designed for flexing back and forth.

Ray I know you have layed it out now but I would move the Bob away from the PSU it's rather close and you want to keep signal wires away from power cables.
Try to run signal wires and power wires in separate trunking, basicly run your power up one side and signals up other. Obviously they have to meet at some point but the aim is minimise this the most you can.

Hi Jazz

Many thanks, it's not to late to move the Bob, i will do your recommendation when i have finished the Mill.
