Thanks for the replies, guys! Been trying to get this done.......and no,
can't use aluminum.
However, can you saw al with a table saw? Wonder which blade, and how thick
you can go??

Anyway, I got the slot cut using drilled holes, a cut-off blade in the angle
grinder, and a dremel for the ends. Look ok, but wouldn't want to do 100 of
these things!!

Is there any way to use aluminum instead? Aluminum will work with
woodworking tools.

I need to mill some slots in some 1095, annealed steel. I can use
a dremel
to finish up, or file work. The slot (or groove, a long hole) is
to be .25"
x 3 "

Is it possible to chuck some kind of machinist bit in a router
to do the
job? The material is .125 thick. My router has variable speed,
of course,
and I plant to build a jig if this is possible.

My other alternative is to just drill some holes, and grind out
the excess,
of course.

Thanks for any help....
