In this step, you’re installing the drag chain and managing wiring.
Messy wiring is bad for business. Do it right and shop life is easy.

Open all drag chain clips before installing onto the table. Keep track of male and female drag chain end links when you remove them from the X and Z chains.

Tip: If you’re installing a 3rd party spindle, you’ll want to run your spindle cable inside the drag chains during this step.
