Default Turning darts(dartboard type, not blowgun type)

I'd like to try and turn some single-piece darts on my lathe using some
SS rod. The turning should not be a problem but I need to know how to
cut the 4 grooves in the flight(plastic "wings") end. Any ideas?

Depending on your equipment, the ideal way would be to use a slitting
saw in an indexer attachment, on a milling machine.
A minimill would do it, as would a $30 indexer with a collet to match
the dart body.
