I want to make fitted inserts for boxes to hold my Tormek attachments. The company makes great boxes with fitted inserts, but I already have the tools. (They don't sell the inserts separately).
Has anybody made diagrams with the contours of Tormek pieces? I can trace mine, but if there are tried & tested versions, they'll surely be better than mine. Formats like .pdf or .jpg would work, but .dxf would be even better. I wrote to Tormek to suggest this, but received no reply.
I believe I've seen them on GrabCAD or Printables or Thingaverse.
Do you mean these inserts? They should be available.

Thank you, I checked all three. There are files for lots of 3D parts and jigs for the Tormek. But I'm just looking for 2D profiles that I can carve into sheets of a soft material to cushion and secure the accessories in boxes.
It would be easy to print such images then use the paper print-out as a template. Or I could also use a drag knife on a CNC to cut precisely.
Rolsen showed I'm mistaken: Tormek does sell the cases without the tools (my store said they don't, but I should have checked Tormek's site). That said, I could fit the tools in my own cases without cushions that I make. If diagrams don't already exist, the simplest solution is to buy Tormek's cases.
Thank you again!

I used the tools themselves as templates for shaping ShadowFoam. It allows for cutting at different depths to match the depth of the tool/jig.
