"He who marches out of step hears another drum." ~ Ken Kesey
We were told right here in the shop, and then again at M&R back in December by Rich himself, make sure your squeegee choppers are always wide open and set wide open, control them with the air regulator. So then obviously like already mentioned, tensions, off contact, squeegee durometer and angle make all the difference, but our have been set wide open since first told and a lot of adjusting and little issues we were having in the first year were eliminated there. Since going with S-Mesh, I notice our pressure back off by at least 20 psi. This is on a DB, but like I said, even a demo on a 2014 Gauntlet 3 he said the same thing, leave the squeegee choppers wide open and control with air pressure.
If your barrels aren't bottoming out to that 1.5 setting, then all of your press sheets are still valid. It's only a physical stop, it doesn't change the pressure vs wide open, as long as it doesn't bottom out.Now if it bottoms out then that's a different story, but you may have been lucky and have "accidentally" been running "wide open" all this time.
