thanks, Vivek

You can grind a toolbit, or buy a thinbit style toolholder, and then a 0.030 grooving insert.

They're not cheap. I had to go buy some from our local distributor during build this year, since we needed them ASAP and couldn't wait to purchase them online. Each insert was about $12.

The holder is probably $40-80 as well.
