Trying to sharpen and hone my Ellsworth shapes 1/2" bowl gouge with my new Tormek T-8 and the tool does not line up with the honing wheel.
The set up is JS = 6, P = 65 & Hole A on the jig
Here is how things line up. Should I just hone by hand or am I missing something?
I hone by hand. Be sure to hone the flute also.
Welcome to the forum, Tom.
When I read your post, your Projection setting didn't look right. I thought it should be 75mm. Ifound a Nick Agar video. Here is the link:

At around two minutes, Nick explains the Ellsworth set up with the Tormek. Your A and jig setting 6 are correct. Your Projection should be 75 mm.
I don't seem to be able to locate my source video; however, I recall a suggestion (I think by Glenn Lucas) to set the TTS-100 for honing and then raise the microadjust one turn. This lets the honing concentrate on just the cutting apex of the edge.
EDIT: I found the source. It is the Tormek Basic Honing Online Class with Sébastien and Wolfgang, starting at around 51 minutes.........
Here is a link to a good Glenn Lucas video:
