Die grinder, angle grinder, big arse soldering iron... are just a few of the ways I've heard of it being done, but a 'proper' groover isn't cheap IIRC.

I always thought a router would do well at it but I'm definitely not speaking from experience here.

No drama. No idea on 37s price, just ask for Ryano and tell him you for the outers forum and he will look after you.
