Wire gauge for wiring cnc controllers

One problem with the very fine wires is that if you solder it, it will have
a tendency to break right at the end of the solder joint. If you do need
to solder it, then anchor the wire an inch or so away from the joint to
stop the flexing at the joint. This would be a good idea with most flexible
wires, unless there is a connector that is tightly clamped on the wire
bundle.

Someone previously mentioned flexibility depends on the number of strands
in
the wire, and that's correct. I've got some wire with 512 strands, and it's
very flexible.
