Update 03Apr22 Please download this model from the Printables 3d model repository: [Print 137812](https://www.printables.com/model/137812-woodturning-chisel-gouge-tool-edge-protector) This is a variety of push-on protectors for woodturning chisels. If, like me, you tote your woodturning tools to various venues in a toolbox, where they can rattle around and crash into each other and the end of the toolbox, you may find these valuable to help protect the sharp cutting edge that you've taken time & care to produce on each of your chisels and gouges. Each protector has an internal end stop that fits against the lower part of the bevel and prevents the cutting edge from touching the end of the protector. Some protectors therefore have a required orientation, which is printed on the side of the protector. I have printed all of the attached files in TPU and fitted the protectors to the relevant chisel, gouge or tool. There is a fair degree of stretch in TPU that allows for a snug fit, even if the size isn't quite correct. For the designs that aren't obvious from the name, I'll attempt to explain here what each protector is intended to fit: __Dovetail Tool.stl__ Crown 267W Dovetail Scraper (see http://www.crownhandtools.ltd.uk/page54.html) __10mm Neg Rake Scraper.stl__ __19mm Neg Rake Scraper.stl__ __13mm Oval Skew.stl__ Jason Breach set of 2 negative rake scrapers and an oval skew (see https://www.axminstertools.com/henry-taylor-jason-breach-box-making-set-of-3-717440) __quarter-inch Angled Parting Tool.stl__ This a tool that I reground from an old turning chisel. It is a 1/4" wide parting tool that is reground with an angle to allow an external dovetail to be easily cut into a spigot. This protector should fit a 1/4" by ~1/2" parting tool. __Hollowing tool.stl__ Simon Hope Carbide Pro Hollowing Tool (see https://hopewoodturning.co.uk/woodturning-tools-handles/hope-carbide-cutting-tools/13/hope-carbide-pro-tool?c=11)
