there is a certain advantage of the turning method if I can do it and that is the radius of the cut will match the piece that these slotted bits have to mate with.
John, I am some what confused,easily done these days ::) but how would that work?
All the best for now,
John.

All will be revealed John. :beer:
John Hill:
Much to noone's suprise I am sure but the turning project had to be abandoned.
The tool cut the end of the bar OK and although there was some chatter it was not serious. What caused me to abandon the process was that there was too much strain on the fixing in the lathe and just the slightest bit of movement there spoiled the shape of the cut.
[Besides, I broke the carefully ground tool that was exactly the width of the required groove.]

Good try John
What's your plan B?. :borg:
Stew
sbwhart:
John Here's a suggestion for plan B or should that be plan BBB
Do it with a fly cutter held in the lathe chuck' and supported by a running centre in the tail stop, You'l have to make the tool holder but that won't be too difficult, the hardest bit will be filing the square for the tool bit, try and make the whole thing nice and stubby and robust. How deep do you want to go ?.
Cheers
Stew
