I just happedn to have a dartboard in the shop. I have two sets here. One
has a tail piece with 4 wires stuck in the back.040" dia. There's a piece of
plastic tube over the wires in front of the flights. That keeps the wires
tight together.
The other ones have an aluminum tail piece threaded in the dart with the
slots in it. This part is available for replacement at dart shops. The slot
is pretty thin. Feeler gage sez .007"

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?
