And speaking of EMT, I think I'll use some on my CNC router for a
shielded cable run. Cheerfully painted flat black, of course.


Sounds like a smart investment at $1.67 for a 10-foot piece!
Do you have any work from that router to show us yet?


Newp, not yet. I'm still running out of cabling/waiting for paint,
etc. at every turn, but I'm getting damned close, finally. Once I get
it wired (redoing the home & limit switches to serial for each axis)
I'll hook up the computer, motion control card, and Gecko G540 and go
to town with it.


I know you can't run NM-Romex through conduit. Can you run an electrical
cord through it (as you are considering, if I understand correctly)?


It would be a couple of open-ended cable protectors with a couple of
single and multi-conductor cables through it. No heat generation, low
voltage (0-50), no problem, and no oversight necessary.
