Ive seen this in a number of UA-cam videos and it seems like pseudo techno rubbish, but its only my opinion. So you align two revolving surfaces against one which is on a solid base and consider this the referance. When you spin the floating side against this it is parrallel right? So what about the floating side that has no fixed referance but the shaft it slides on, how much slop is in that to allow smooth adjustment? and what do you think happens when you fill the gap between these two plates with beans of various density spread around the plates. In my opinion all the mucking around you show to set up these plates under no load will have no significance what so ever when they are under load and there is no way to check. Just my opinion.
It has been a while, but no one proved you wrong yet, so here I go: You’re right, that is the case in *some* grinders. However the EK43 really benefits from alignment. The forces of beans being ground push the burrs out and probably do influence the alignment dynamically. But the EK is one of the tougher grinders. Cheap grinders can have this flexing issue. You bring the rotating burr in alignment with ‘a’ the highest point of the stationary, then also do the stationary against the rotating or against the axle. This makes it possible to grind way finer with the EK. Because burr rub happens later and the total split between the burrs is smaller. It’s also more even so the particles coming out are more even. (Yes ive experienced it myself!)
@@PointlessMiracle Don't get me wrong the EK43 is a very good grinder and if the plates are so misaligned that they are not parallel when spun up with a grind load on them then you are right you will not be able to get the plates close enough to get a very fine grind without them touching. What I am saying is the video is showing alignment which is so fine that the variation in the plates simply due to their non fixed structure so as to negate any adjustment to those tolerances. If the movable burr has quite a lot of variation I can quite imagine that would cause inconstant grind size but I struggle to believe adjustment of the sort shown would fix this. However if you are finding positive results then I accept that but I cant explain it :)
@@campbellmorrison8540 Yeah it's on some grinders probably more placebo and peace of mind. The EK makes it slightly measurable luckily. Ofcourse it's about microns of difference, and flexing of the rotating carrier will probably happen and introduce unalignment (however the carrier is actually quite a thick piece of aluminum) - but these crushing forces also happen all around the axle, so maybe partly cancelled out again
Was gonna buy one and the carrier from titus. seeing this vid, I changed my mind. Thanks
Oh haha! I was thinking the same 😂 might as well stick to the stock burr carrier since both require to shim 😏
@@Syd7088 I also saw a review of titvs nautilus grinder... They really suck, waaaay overpriced, and bad after sales service.
Fantastic music choice. I thought my phone was confused.
🤒
Now, do the other burr aswell! :)
is the end letter printed on burr STW 302 02 04 B >> ( A or B ) refer to normal disc or turkish burr ?
How do you resharpene grinding disc

so u shimmed one side of the burr?
