Now, we’re going to use three (3) cable ties — two on one
side of the Y2-carriage plate and one on the other — to
secure the power cord in place.
6. Collect three (3) more cable ties.
7. Insert one cable tie into a second. Loop the end of
the second cable tie around the router cable and
through the head of the first. Don’t tighten the
loop yet. This double-cable-tie loop will secure the
cable on the outside of the Y2-carriage plate. See
Figure 10 - 8 .
8. Loop a third cable tie around the router cable and
close the ends but do not tighten yet. This cable
tie will secure the cable from the inside of the
Y2-carriage plate. See
Figure 10 - 8 .
9. Once the router cable is positioned in the cutout,
tighten the all three (3) cable ties to secure the
router in place. See
Figure 10 - 8 .
10. Trim down the ends of the two (2) cable ties on
the outside of the Y2-carriage, leaving about
1/2-inch at the end of each as shown in
Figure 10 - 9 . (The short ends help hold the cable in
place.) Do not trim the cable tie on the inside of
the Y2-carriage at all.
11. Trim the ends of all the remaining cable ties. See
Figure 10 - 10 .
NOTE: Plug the compact router into an outlet that
has a dedicated on/off switch. Be sure this is
accessible while the machine is running, in case you
should need to shut the Shapeoko off immediately.
