Re: Breville BCG450...modded...now excellent grinder!
Yep,
I think this applies in particular to Conical Burr Sets whereas the Flat Burr-Plates have a flat ground section around the circumference of both burr-plates so that in the event of getting "too close" it is just steel rubbing on steel; not cutting edge on cutting edge...
From the little play around Ive done with a Conical Burr grinder I owned, if the burr set is adjusted so that they touch, cutting edges do in fact make contact with each other and cause damage as a result. So, be very careful that you never allow the burr sets to come into contact with each other, your coffee may suffer...
