I was thinking today when you set the concave clearance, it says to set it for a quarter inch. Is that a tape measure 1/4 inch or a 1/4 the gauge on the feeder house? Because a "1/4" on the gauge is really like a 1/2". Give me your thoughts, Thanks.

Set the cylinder so it is tight on the concave. Then set the measuring gauges to read zero. As you adjust the cylinder upwards to 1 / 4 inch as read on the gauges, the cylinder/concave clearance should also be 1/4 inch, as measured with a tape measure. Ben

When you set the gauge check over the bars. Cylinderand concave bars.

Agree.

The gauge is compensating for being so far off the center of the rotation. You are actually moving the cylinder 1/4 inch, but way out there in front the gauge is being moved twice as far.
