Hey everyone I have a X2 Mini mill and want to move my control box to the outside of my enclosure. What I am looking for is the conduit that runs from the controller to the motor. Its size is .42 OD and I havent checked the inside. I have looked at the little machine shop but they only sell in 9 inch lengths (even emailed him to ask if I can get by the foot but its already pre cut for him) I have also looked at mcmasterscar but thiers is to big. So if anyone knows where I can get it by the foot I would appreciate it. |

| I moved mine and used split loom tubing and placed heatshrink over it to seal it off. The ends that attach at the couplers are brushed with liquid electrical tape. Its probibly more watertight than the stock setup. You can also go to somewhere that sells electrical and get some 1/2" liquidtite flex and the straight or angled connectors that you need and pull the wire in it. You may have to drill out the hole for the couplers some, but it will be 100% liquid tight. You can get different interiors in it at a few places, some are steel, some alum. and some plastic, with the latter being the most common nowdays. They have superflexable that you can tie a knot in basicially if you wanted to but you take one for the home team when you pay for it. Hope this helps. |
