I asked this question on the DCF as well, but can anyone give me a rational explanation as to why general drum machines mount the anchor cable at the front of the drum and coil in counterclockwise (if facing the drum)? Ridgid and spartan machines mount at the back of the drum and coil in clockwise. seems odd as the cable itself is wound the same for general and ridgid machines. General seems to be the one that has problems with the cable getting overlapped inside the drum and the autofeeders never seem to be able to pull the cable back.
No announcement yet.
