Attaching Drag Chain Ends
We will now be installing the drag chains which can be found in the long rail box inside the Y-axis rails. These
contain and guide the wires on the LongMill so they aren’t in the way during cutting. They also keep wires from
wearing out from bending or being cinched around corners.

Start by unclipping all the drag chain clips. These clips hold the wires into the chain but are designed to open or be
completely removed, giving flexibility to add or remove wires on your machine when needed.
Most chain clips are designed to be easy enough to remove with a flat head screwdriver or anything else sharp
like a wood screw underneath the clip tabs, but if you’re struggling with this the LongMill wrench also has a taper
that can assist you with popping these open.
If you plan on adding more wiring into the drag chains in the future, we recommend permanently removing every
second clip since it still holds the wires well but makes opening and closing them take half the time. You can stick
the extras into a baggy to save for later if you wish.
