Might want to consider rounding off those corners to make them less grabby on swarf and fingers

'Soft jaws." Will definitely be making these! They should last a lot longer than my normal ones.

The timing of this video is perfect. I've been thinking of making a nice set of soft jaws.

Goft Saws, they look good but I like the comments about them wrap around them for both ways, good for me in the future when I make some.

I made a set of these for my Vevor mini-lathe. I used .55mm copper plate. Worked like a charm! Not a trace of marring or tool marks on aluminum. Thanks for the inspiring method.
