Thank you for replies.
I didn't know the disc could be removed.
I have removed the disc and also inserted a thin slat of wood between the screw and the gouge, this made it more stable and true. It all works fine.
Problem solved.
Thank you

I have a Tormek svd185 jig and can use it with my bowl gouge fine, BUT not with my 3/8 spindle gouge. I can not clamp it in as the screw tightened disc hits the sides before it gets down to the gouge.
