What is meant by 4-core CY cable?

[Clive S]

Hey guys, great thread.... I'm now in the position to dismantle the temporary wiring and hard wire everything up. My question is, am I right in say that this is the correct wire to purchase?

That wire will be fine but it is too expensive If you search for it you can buy it for about 70p here is a link http://quickbit.co.uk/Cable/CY-Cable...-0-75mm-4-core but this is not the best cable as Dean will point out when he sees this but I just can't find the link for the better quality cable at this time. I will have another look tomorrow
This is the correct link http://www.csecables.com/acatalog/CY-Cable-4-Core.html ...Clive

In that case I would use 1.5mm but do you really need nema 34 motors if so is your power supply big enough? ..Clive

Thanks Clive, Yeah i need 34 all round as its a heavy gantry with future plans for it to put on a little more weight! This is the setup i had before i stripped my last machine down due to a huge bust up with my last boss. unfortunatly everything else was left :(

I decided to run R&P on the X with cncrouterparts pro drives

Clive would i be right in saying that the 2.5 would be ok to power the spindle? from the spindle to the VFD
