Staggered tooth groove cutter

A groove cutting device comprising:

• a spindle coupled to a motor for rotating the spindle about a rotational axis and in an orbital motion;
• a cutting tool coupled to the spindle, the cutting tool comprising:
• a substantially circular body configured to rotate about a rotational axis;
• a first plurality of cutting teeth each extending substantially radially outwardly from the body, each cutting tooth of the first plurality of cutting teeth comprises a cutting section and a non-cutting section, wherein the cutting section is positioned on a first side of a rotational plane that extends radially outwardly from the rotational axis of the cutting device and the non-cutting section is positioned on a second, opposite side of the rotational plane;
• and
• a second plurality of cutting teeth each extending radially outwardly from the body, each cutting tooth of the second plurality of cutting teeth comprises a cutting section and a non-cutting section, wherein the cutting section is positioned on the second side of the rotational plane and the non-cutting section is positioned on the first side of the rotational plane;
• wherein each cutting section comprises a cutting surface positioned a first distance from the rotational plane and each non-cutting section comprises a non-cutting surface positioned a second distance from the rotational plane.
