I would weld a lathe parting or grooving tool to a round shank at about the

How thick is it axially? If it's pretty thin it should be sandwiched between
two pieces of softer metal. Go slow on the feed, high on the speed to make a
lot of shallow passes with a slightly narrow cutter. Then use a full width
cutter for a single full depth pass to clean up the slot sides.
I see a 2d of the rotor. How thick is it? The rotor on a vane pump is
