Thor, or should that be Zeus?

. . . . I hadn't realised myself why some videos were like that until I happened to trip over that explanation

Thanks for that Andrew, I hadn't realised this until I just read your post!
I thought videos displayed in three vertical stripes like that were simply some new technological fad intended to irritate some of us old farts! Lol
Maybe people shooting vertical videos are often unaware of this, I certainly would have been.
Let's hope the manufacturers improve their default settings to mostly phase out this mode of recording.

I need to order cable for limit switches (3 core for Proxy) and then 4 core for the Spindle / Earth.

Do I need either of these cables to be shielded? 3 Core cable is common, shielding adds a fair bit to the price. I dont mind paying if its absolutely needed however no point if its just a 'nice to have'.

Any suggestions for cable for the 4KW type Chinese spindles?

Thanks

Personalty I would use 4 core cy cable 1.5mm for the spindle

You can buy it by the Mtr.

Thanks both.

And on the limit switches, screened or not?

[Chaz]

Suppose I can just buy 50 meters of this stuff and use for both the limits and spindle, done.

Its not a twisted pair but at least its screened.

As with Clive I always use shielded.

Pity you didn't mention it when you were over here at the weekend - I bought full rolls of SY cable for the limits and steppers on my CNC Plasma table and have a fair bit left

No problem, thanks. You were already giving me free stuff, felt bad enough taking that, nevermind loads of other stuff too.
