Which other method can I use to measure the gap for a cone crusher other than using the lead button method. We trying to avoid the health risks associated with the use of lead. I need a review if methods on how to measure a cone crusher gap?

Lead is best as it does not break. Sold wax can work in some countries but will break if too cold. Plasticine can work if it does not distort due to sticking to metal. If this happens try coating with thick dust. This however will prevent you from repeating the test, which is possilbe with lead.

Tried and true is the old ball of aluminium foil.

Foil ball is quick and easy, also try cast lead fishing sinker, the type with brass eye for attaching a line. see
