Rok Grinder bevel failure

Hey fellow grinders! I recently got a secondhand rock grinder and I broke the bevel gear grinding for espresso... Twice It is a gc version but the steps on the wheel are completely flattened, it doesn't click at all and so I suspect that my zero point was too tight, meaning that the burrs were almost closed

Breville Dual Boiler Mods and Maintenance
