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?

Indexer and very very fine saw blade. Do it before turning the final

Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you
for torturing the cat." Gunner
