Not sure if the GM rig can cut them, but we have fixed a dremel tool to a lathe at really low RPM and ground the grooves in an emergency situation. Not very elegant, but it got the job done. Any old lathe that spins true can do the job.

Scotty,

If they're still in need and can come up to Brighton, I can get it done for them. If so, PM.
