@Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works Actually I literally just did it after tasting a V60 coffee in a local cafe. I got a 150g bag of the same coffee (a really good Colombian) and I managed to obtain a cup almost as good as the one they served me, even if I'm using a stovetop kettle without termometer.
However my main doubt is about the setting of the grinder, mainly because I can calculate how many steps it needs to obtain a theorically correct size of the ground, however I mostly end up looking for instructions online and finding the right setting by trying
That process sounds akin to what I would do with any grinder. Many popular grinders have lookup tables available and the calibrations are better on some than others. You can also get sifters and grind size guides to check all of this, but ultimately I've always just relied on dial-in trials as it sounds like you are doing.
