A dime by the way is about .045". I have heard the dime trick before, but when I measured one and found it measured at 45 thousandths, I opted for the feeler gauges. I set mine around .022". I guess set so a dime just won't fit would also be pretty close to 30 thousandths, but how much under .045" you get would be a guess... If you were working with large pieces or hard woods, a dime sized gap might really load up the rotor/cutters...
I welded some on my roller teeth and reground them sharper and that makes a big difference on how well it feeds and eats material.
Well the new set of blades that i bought from ranch hand supply, i was told to set them at .030" or the width of a dime to prevent too large of a cut and possible jambing, Seems to work greatat that width.
