The gauge is really useful for knowing what you're crushing at and being able to check the spacing if something goes wrong. It doesn't help you set the correct spacing, that's more of a trial and error thing.You really don't need feeler gauges or anything technical -- just do as Denny says, crush till you're scared. Try the default factory settings, see how it works. If your efficiency is bad, tighten it up a bit and try again. If you have a slow runoff, loosen it a little and give it a try. Find what's best for you in your setup, and use that. Numbers are just numbers -- experience is what's important.

This is what I do/did. Ive had mine for years, go it on the GB only group buy.You really don't need feeler gauges or anything technical -- just do as Denny says, crush till you're scared. Try the default factory settings, see how it works. If your efficiency is bad, tighten it up a bit and try again. If you have a slow runoff, loosen it a little and give it a try.

BTW I'm not familiar with the mill , but IIRC it has a continuously adjustable gap. If so, CJ, I'm shocked at your reply.If you start at say .030 and it is a bit too coarse, and you tighten it up a bit and find after several weeks it's too fine how do you know where to go back to? Let alone go a smidge tighter than the last time?Sorry, for a fin, grab a set of gauges and always know where you are.That stated my Valley mill has a set of detents. One up from horizontal for first crush, one down from horizontal for second crush.Flour and hulls baby, no rice required.You really don't need feeler gauges or anything technical -- just do as Denny says, crush till you're scared.
