Resolution
Perhaps your material tends to distort on the expansion arms of the reel due to the amount of pressure which has to be applied to get a firm grip on the coil I.D. Several inner wraps of material may be lost in this way at considerable expense. Equip your reel with a drum type mandrel. This provides practically full circular support on the I.D. of the coil.
