Thanks for responding, Ken.  Per your recommendation, I found the TNT-300 on eBay and ordered it.  Coincidentally, I had copied my original posting on this forum and sent it as an email to customer support in Sweden requesting any advice.  Haven't heard anything as yet.  I am heading to a nearby Woodcraft store tomorrow evening for an introduction to the lathe.  While there I plan to ask anyone with Tormek experience to share their wisdom.  Appreciate any and all suggestions.

Yes, I can confirm that the projection is 65mm.  Is it possible that the turning kit is designed for the T-8 and not the T-4?

I am new to this forum, new to the world of wood turning, and new to Tormek sharpening.  I recently purchased a used T-4 in good condition.  I replaced the sanding wheel with a new SG200.  I also purchased the woodturning kit from Tormek.  My first foray into sharpening a spindle gouge has me puzzled. After reading the instruction manual and watching a couple of Youtube videos,  I carefully set the tool bar using the TTS-100, watching for rotation of both wheels and locking in place.  I then set up the SVD186R according to the formula for a 45 degree bevel: JS2, P65, hole A.  I ensured that the position of the gouge was locked on the jig nearest the stone.  What I end up grinding is a 30 degree bevel rather than 45 degrees.  What am I doing wrong?  Sure would appreciate any advice.
