Ok everything went well today, I cut all of my blank material (made like 135 pieces, or 67.5 pairs) using a table saw, that worked great. Then I used my fixture to make 12 pairs of PTFE jaws. It's not a blazing fast process, I am going to have to be careful how I price these things as I could easily see myself wind up working for $2 per hour if I go too low.

So cool to see this project continously evolving, adapting and enhancing. Totally made me scroll back and read over the beginnings: https://hackaday.io/project/3287/logs/sort/oldest

Yeah, thanks, it has definitely come a long way. I first posted on hackaday to try to find beta testers and get feedback, little did I know they'd wind up selling it for me.

Those jaws look really nice! Just don't sell them too cheap, honest work and skills involved have to pay!

Thanks @Jan! I am going to need to be careful pricing them. I'm still not sure how long it takes to make them, from cutting up raw stock, to mounting on the fixture, etc.
