Subject: making sqare holes in steel

I need to make a slot with square ends in a steel bar (0.25" wide and
about 0.5" long). I'm thinking of using a 2 flute end mill and then
sqaring up the corners with a file but wonder if there is a more
precise
way do do this with a broach or something? Any suggestions?


Thanks
