Default milling slot question

It will be done on the CNC with a small bit. For the old manual mill
there was no bit available smaller than 3/16 long enough to do the
job.


If you want, I have a program online that will generate the G-code for this.
See :
http://pico-systems.com/gcode.html

And get the "milling a rectangular pocket" program. I have some more
specific ones for slots with round ends that I have not published.
