Sorry for the slow response, got kind of busy.  Rich, thanks for the information, very, very helpful.  Also, the sharpening handbook is great.  Went through it all again and I was using hole "A" instead of "B" and I had the incorrect projection set.  Reground the gouge and then tried it again on the T7.  Angle is still off and I do believe I may have found the issues.  It does appear my measurement (dimension "b", Tormek mounting instructions) is off a bit in regards to the distance between the platform and the center of the grinding wheel.  Attached are some pics.  In one pic of the gouge you can see that the T7 is not hitting the whole bevel.  In another pic you can see where I remeasured and it does appear the measurement is off based on the line I drew.  Would this incorrect measurement cause the angle to be off when moving from the grinder to the T7??   THANKS!!

I am having difficulty in replicating the angle on my roughing gouge from the grinder to the T-7.  I rechecked the installation of my BGM 100 and it appears to be spot on with the instructions in the manual.  I set the angle with the TTS-100 on the grinder (8") and on the T-7 as well.  I can certainly tell the shaping angle from the grinder is nowhere near 45 degrees and does not match the angle set on my T-7.  Looking for any suggestions or ideas.  Perhaps I have overlooked something?  Thanks.
