I have a router that I have been running for a year or so now. I'm running steppers with shielded cables, grounded to my control box. I have been running a Porter Cable router. I bought a Chinese 2.2kw spindle and inverter a while back and I'm just getting around to installing it. The P/C router has been running on a Home Depot extension cord. The extension cord is routed with the rest of the stepper cabling. I haven't had any issues (that I'm aware of) with noise or other issues. A decent shielded cable would run about $150.....
So have I been lucky with my existing extension cord? Do I need a shielded power cable for the spindle? Any insight would be helpful. Thanks in advance..
