Retaining Ring Groove Tool
What does everyone use for cutting retaining ring grooves in shafts? Specifically, I'm looking for something to provide a properly toleranced groove for a 1/2" shaft, which is .039" wide x .468" in diam. All the cutting tools we own are much wider than this. I know you can custom grind your own tools from HSS but I have no experience with this. Something off the shelf would be preferred.
