Wood lathe for o-ring grooves

Can I use a wood lathe on PVC back plugs to cut o-ring grooves into them so they will be an air tight seal in a T.

IIRC, Gort used to use a wood lathe for all of his valves

Yeah mate its all good any turning mechanism is alright if it can hold onto it ... just remember that the pvc heats ups and make sure you dont put a hole in it 
... fyi ... you can also use a pedestal drill for that stuff ... and a metal lathe works well as well ... good luck post some pictures when your done
