The tool I am refering to I would call a 3/4" Spindle Gouge, and it is 2nd one down in the picture.
It has a very large profile that fills the gouge jig opening, and is used for removing lots of material when turning a square spindle down to the round before creating any fine patterns with the other tools.  Sorry about the name confusion.

#1 - 5/8" Roughing Gouge - 22-1/2" Long
#2 - 3/4" Spindle Gouge - 17" Long
#3 - 1" Skew - 17" Long
#4 - 13/16" Round Nose - 17" Long
#5 - 15/16" Parting Tool - 17" Long
#6 - 3/8" Spindle Gouge - 19" Long

thanks,
Greg

I finally got everything setup and was able to sharpen a few chisels.  The basic set contains: 15/16" x 17" Parting Tool, 13/16" x 17" Round Nose and 3/8" x 19" Long Bowl Gouge; 1" x 17" Skew, a 5/8" x 22-1/2" Roughing Gouge and a 3/8" x 19" Spingle Gouge.  Everything was going well until I found that the one I call the large spindle gouge (13/16" x 17" Round Nose) would not fit in the Gouge Sharpening Jig (SVD-185) because it would not pass thru the opening in the tool holder part of the jig to allow me to set the protrusion with the TTS-100 Tormek Turning Tool Setter.  It appears that it is too large for the opening even when the disc is retracted to the maximum using the knob. 

The problem one actually a 3/4" Spindle Gouge.  Sorry about name confusion.
Any suggestions how to get around this problem?
