And I'm going to buy a reel of single core wire between 1mm^2 and just use it for everything. I would go multicore for the steppers and drivers but I don't need a reel of it costing nearly £100 from Farnell and don't know where else to get cable.

Mounting the rails behind the spindle plate in my Eyes isn't correct.

Well you need to go to Spec savers then. .:lol: . . Look closer and you'll figure out why.!! . . . It's quite obvious if you think about levers and lever length's.:question:

The rails mounted on the front plate make a big difference when it come to reducing chatter.!

I just thought 'it's gone down in price since I bought the 100m reel', then I tried pretending to buy 10m of 1.5mm^2 and they want £9.50+vat for postage...extortionate!! That makes it £2.21 per meter for 10m.

Let me know how much you need as I'm happy to sell some of mine.

You can do what I do and tell them you're sending in your own courier, parcel to go about £4.50. . . . . Anyway how much do you think it would be to send heavy cabel via the post office.?

They let you do that? I often say that to eBay sellers, didn't occur to me to try it on a proper company.
It's about 120 grams per meter, so can probably get 8m in 1kg for £3.15 2nd class. Or standard parcels is £4.41 for 2kg ... parcels2go probably less as they keep spamming me with emails about how cheap they are.

Yep it's just the same as collecting in person. Only your getting someone else to collect for you.!

I find P2GO ok thou I very rarely send light stuff or have it collected.
