[PSUBS-MAILIST] Cutting circlip grooves

[Alan James via Personal_Submersibles]

Hi, I need to cut a few external circlip grooves in stainless 316 rod.One is 1.1mm wide (3/64") & the other .7mm (1/32") wide. The shaft is 10mm & 8mm diameter.I have a lathe tool that fits tungsten inserts & am wondering that IF I can get an insertthe right width, whether the tungsten would be too brittle for that.Another option may be a dremmel drill & disk if I can set it up on the lathe carriage & if they havegrinding disks that diameter.Any suggestions, comments appreciated.Thanks, Alan
