Option #1

Take/Make a jaw (O/S length). Machine hole in center for XY zero
sweep. Engrave a center line from XY zero to edge of jaw for zero X
reference and engrave your own scale on the jaw by making equally
spaced lines outward from zero in both directions.

Option #2

Good thing I don't fly much. Just kidding. That was a pretty neat

You said nothing about 200 parts AFAIK.
I'd just cut them to the same length then & set up on one

Not self centering but really handy and quick to setup. My personal
