The same number means different things
Both grinders use a clicks, which makes it tempting to copy a number straight across. Setting 100 clicks sits at grind index 61.4 on the JX-Pro but 55.3 on the K6 — far enough apart to change the cup.
Converting a setting
If a recipe quotes a setting for one of these grinders, read across for the equivalent on the other. Rows are spaced evenly by grind size, not by dial number — on a conical burr those are not the same thing.

The shape of each dial
Where the connectors bunch, that grinder’s dial is compressed and single steps count for more. Comparing the two shapes tells you which gives finer control, and where.

KINGrinder K6
Dialing in the JX-Pro
External adjustment makes this the easiest hand grinder to actually dial, because you can count clicks without disassembling anything. Its filter range is generous, which is a mixed blessing — small click changes do less than you expect at the coarse end and more than you expect near espresso. Move in larger jumps for French press, single clicks for anything under filter.
Dialing in the K6
The espresso-oriented KINGrinder, with dense click spacing near the fine end. Like the K4 it rewards counting clicks rather than eyeballing, and the sheer number of them means you should expect to move several at a time for filter.
