Machine torch cable support

Post by mcmental »

I’ve noticed that I’m getting a bit of movement on the machine torch due to the heavy cable, I’m thinking that I should look at an overhead support or maybe cable chain?
What ideas have you come up with to combat any movement in the torch head mount?
Thanks
Chris

Chris,
See my build in my signature. I think I show a pic of cable management as well as how I support the torch cable coming off the torch and into the cable management.

Tom just posted some pictures of his design that seems to work quite well.
