How good is this at directional control? I'm thinking of using it in an animatronic tail, but it needs to be controlable...

What do you use for cables? Fishing line?

Is there an issue with cables wearing the holes?

Yea I use fishing leader line, its very strong and thick diameter. I even suppose you can use Printer filament itself ! No wear because of the large bearing surfaces
