Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] DRO cable for Lindsay Lathe DRO

I have used control line model airplane cables as a source of SS small
cables.

Several sizes available. Does not stretch. comes in single and
multistrand in lengths up to 70 feet pairs.

Call a good local hobby shop, it will not be in stock but is available
from their distrib.

Sullivan is one good brand.
