I have had to move the dust collection to an over head set up.
Now I'm finding my self struggling with what to do with the motor wires. I know I had seen some Ideas on how to manage those cables but I cant find it. any Ideas?

You probably want to look into using an e-chain cable carrier. You can buy one for the X and/or Y from Shopbot or surplus via Ebay et al.

You want to search for the topic "e-chain" (http://www.talkshopbot.com/forum/search.php?searchid=1511653) to get some ideas.

Mark:

I have my spindle power cable going up to the same bracket as my DC Hose that is suspended from the ceiling (I have a high ceiling) but it is going through an e-chain from the spindle to the high side of the gantry first.
