Introduction:
If your cardboard barrel diameter is slightly larger than the groove on your plywood flange, stop thinking about replacing the entire flange or barrel. Tai'an Bairuixin Import and Export Co., Ltd, a professional cable drums supplier since 2007, shares a 30-second field fix that saves time, money and downtime.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Measure – Confirm the gap (usually 1-3 mm).
Grind – Use a hand sander or file to reduce both ends of the cardboard barrel evenly (≈1 mm each side).
Test-fit – Slide the barrel into the groove; it should snap in snugly.
Install – Continue normal assembly – no extra parts, no replacement.
Tips:
Grind evenly to keep the barrel round.
Do NOT reduce more than 2 mm total to avoid strength loss.
Wipe off dust before installation to ensure a tight bond.
Result:
Perfect fit, zero extra cost, zero downtime – your payoff line keeps running smoothly.
