I need some feedback on using wire rope for driving my x & y axis

Hi all,

I am working on a cnc router I am building from scratch and was
looking for feedback on using aircraft style wire rope to drive my
axis. Anyone doing this or know of any machines using this?

I am not sure if there are any pitfalls to consider in the design.
Like stretch or thermal growth, or other things I haven't even
imagined.

Any feedback would be appreciated.
