I am looking for some of that "track" that the wires go inside of on a cnc machine that will roll up as the x axis moves so I do not have to suspend my wires from above. I would like to see a few dfiierent sizes so maybe I can get a small set for my y axis as well.

Has anyone tried to make their own, maybe from 1/4" mdf for the sides or 1/8-1/4" plastic then use a bolt/screw/pin to hold together, would be alot cheaper but only for diy, Hmmmm well i guess that will be another little addition to my CNC Model 2006 machine.. lol

Yea i had seen his befor made from a 2x4 i think, it looked kinda bulky and heavy did not care for it to much, thats why i mentioned 1/4" mdf sides and pins to hold together.
