What's the gap in your barley crusher? Just got my mill

When you guys measure your gap, are you just sliding the feeler gauge into the gap without the rollers spinning, or are you having to force them down? I noticed I can have a variance of over .01" between either sliding the feeler gauge down, to making them spin and barely getting the feeler through.
 
I'm at .042 on a Monster Mill 2 and I consistently get 85% eff. batch sparging. I check the gap before every crush as I have some issues with one of the thumb set screws loosening regularly.
Try using some locktight you shouldnt have any more problems
 
Had my BC mill for a while, but just getting around to using it. Measures .035 on one side and tighter on the other. I'm gonna set it for .035 (cause that's the largest feeler gauge i have). Got my coleman extreme set up with a Bargain Fittings braid. If I get a stuck sparge, I'm blaming Bargain Fittings, lol...
