PJ: If you find a cable flexible enough for your Sherline, it will surely be
too small a gauge for the Size-42 steppers you will have on the BP!

I don't have a Sherline, but I IMAGINE all you need the flexible cable for is
the X motor (on the saddle). Ever consider MAKING a 1' length of
4-C/shielded yourself? Just find some highly-stranded #20, some
adequately-large "mic-cable shield", do some jiggery, and you have it!
