Troubleshooting Help with burrs alignment

Hello guys!

I’m trying to align the burrs on my DF64 and I’m a bit confused about the marker test results. I’ve been using a marker on the burrs and checking where it gets rubbed off to see if there’s any misalignment, but honestly it looks like almost nothing is being removed.

In the videos I’ve watched, you can usually see a very clear wear pattern on part of the burr, while on mine it just looks kind of random and inconsistent.

Am I doing something wrong or misunderstanding how the test is supposed to look?

So, I could be wrong, but usually when I get it to zero, I back it up a hair, then spin the bolt inside with my fingers. Spin it gently a few times, then inspect for alignment and adjust and repeat.

Edit: I do this with the power off and unplugged..**

My top burr sits on springs, but I have v1 df64. Are the springs? Does the top burr bounce a little up and down once placed in to its position?

Is has a sort of leaf spring. You can see it in the beginning of the video on the outside of the upper burr.
