    Head Sealing & O-Ringing

    Im sure you can fab up one of these lol, I was actually making some drawings the other day on something like what you just described, if the depth of the groove is too critical you can always just make a stop that wont allow the carbide bit to continue any deeper.. I think it can be done :D
