[QUOTE="derykmarl, post: 533567, member: 35566"] From what I've seen similar flex is almost always 0.75mm^2 (can't think of the last time I saw any different in fact other than typically 1.0mm on extension leads) and this doesn't look any different. I'm not unduly worried as yes it's ancient and even if the cable CSA was 1.5 (which I very much doubt) it allows for 0.0266ohm of wiggle room at 2m and it's only over by 0.01. I just wanted to understand the parallel earth path situation and what it means so that I'm not passing something I shouldn't. I'm no expert on drill machine terminology but google calls it a floor mounted drill press, seemingly. It's not literally bonded to earth but rather I think it's picking up the parallel path because that's where the giant bolts holding it down are going. [/QUOTE]
