Does it matter which side the machine the controller is mounted on? Does the short Y connection have to be on the left and the long on the right or can they be swapped? I’m right handed so a right side mounted controller would work better for me.
I would think as long as you reversed the plugs in the controller the machine would not know the difference as to if the short or long cord was plugged in.
I just was thinking of internal component that need to be kept horizontal, or not. If you can’t think of anything being damaged, I’d rather have more tabletop space.
I’ve mounted mine on the left but inside the wing of my torsion box on a drawer slide so it can be slid out of the way or pulled out for easy access to the plugs in back or to use the emergency stop. We’ll see how that works out.
