Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] DRO cable for Lindsay Lathe DRO

hi - don't know the dia. of the pulley and if something like a 7x19
strand coated or plain wire rope would work.. mscdirect is one place to
check. if it needs to be a continuous loop, crimping it inline without
affecting pliability may be a problem.

please let us know what you find out! hope this helps!
