Here's what I did on my old machine. A couple swivel clips, key ring, and some conduit hangers.

I really like how my premier plasma is set up. If you can find one of these flexi things. Maybe call Jake at PP.

Attached is an image of a torch cable support I have used on about 4 tables I built, the end pivoting section is a must to allow the cable to cover the extreme reach to the 4 corners. :lol:

Here's a picture of my overhead torch cable support. It's a bit confusing because the table is set up for laser engraving right now so the magnetic torch mount is just stuck to the Z axis motor for the picture. But basically it's just a length of 1 inch conduit with the torch cable routed thru it. It rotates on a ball bearing mount on the side of the table.
