• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance.

  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

I'm looking for flexible metal conduit or cable, the really flexible style like the type used for a CNC machine or for a DRO pickup.

They sell various types on Amazon etc, however it looks more like the not very flexible style more like AC90/BX?

One of them will be for 2 conductor power, #16AWG
One of them will be for 6 conductor signalling, #22AWG or so

Need perhaps 2m of each

Like this (I'm assuming that Ø10 = 10mm, plenty big for what you want it for):

Look in the plumbing section. There are various lengths and diameters of hoses that are armored, liquid tight and designed to be repeatedly bent and moved around. Unlike most of the flexible electrical conduit which is designed to be bent only once or very occasionally

probably you want to use stranded wire too
