My google search shows parting tool min. thickness is 1/16" = 1.6 mm and my question would be how can I make a parting tool < 1 mm. ?
Hi
I have a desktop lathe.
While you are looking for ways to cut the grooves, also be thinking of ways to drill the 0.3 dia holes. 0.012 drills are not very forgiving.
Thanks, good idea, I researched it but have to see if can get an insert with =< 1 mm. width.Look for ''circlip grooving tools''
Use a grinder.
You might want to research the sticky up top about "discussion guidelines".

Check at the hornusa.com website for narrow grooving tools.
ks., did check but came up with:
Nothing found for "narrow grove".Nothing found for "narrow grove".
HSS , grinder.
What ever happened to old school,used to grind my own tools for years.
HSS works better on Alum. than Carbide on slower lathes.
Actually they are .3 r = .6 mm. dia. but, now have to resort to 1 mm. dia holes since didn't find bits long enough for < 1 mm.Those ".3mm dia. holes" are actually called out with a radius of .3mm.
Thanks also a very valid idea and do have thin dremel type grinders but making a holder for the dremel will be complicated for me.
You could use the lathe.. Find some rectangular stuff ( small saw blade... ) which is 1mm thick. Grind two angles on it. That's all.
