You are quite right, Jeff, I have the older model. I saw the bit in the manual about trimming the jig, but I had assumed that it was just to allow shorter tools to be sharpened. My mistake now seems obvious as this is the edge the setter registers from.
Thanks,
Bob.  

[65mm]

I am trying out the new TTS-100 turning tool setter. It work just fine with a spindle gouge. When I tried a skew chisel, however, I am getting a silly long bevel. I am using the settings recommended both on the setter and the accompanying manual; Protrusion 65mm, skew angle on the SVS-50 @ 20 degrees, and the inner hole on the setter.   I am measuring a 20 degree bevel angle instead of the 30 degrees claimed by the manual. Can it be mislabeled? should I be using the 55mm protrusion setting instead?
I stopped grinding before completely finishing the bevel, as it will be a long journey back to the correct angle.
