Which thickness CY cable do I need for 1.5kW spindle?

[JoeHarris]

Joe I generally use 4 core 1mm CY cable and earth the screen to a star point in the control box and I don't see the point of stripping such a lot of cable back 6" is more than enough. But I make these for the back of the motor

Thanks Clive, I thought he stripped a lot off! Do you 3D print those yourself?

The white one I printed, the black one was milled from one of those fencing posts made out of car tyres. They are 100x100 square so I band-sawed it down the centre then it was possible to get one out of each half. The trouble with it is that the stuff if full of bubbles in the centre but they were fine. I have also made them from various plastics which are very nice.

They are available like http://www.soigeneris.com/nema_23_st...r-details.aspx But I have seen them for about 13 euro from Europe somewhere.
