How to add "teeth"feature

Anonymous · ‎10-14-2016

How do I add gripping, or "teeth" features to the flat surfaces on the jaws of a tool that is similar to a pair of pliers? They need to run perpendicular to the length of the jaw, be spaced about 1/16" apart with a depth of 1/32", and have a slight rearward angle. They would be very similar to the gripping ridges on the jaws of a pair of pliers. Thanks for any help.

Didn't read carefully enough, to make the tooth steeper on one side just add an angle dimension instead of the midpoint constraint.

Thanks so much. I'm new to Fusion and haven't worked in any CAD software for
20 years, so basically, a complete newbie.
