You are right and that was the bit I was thinking of as the channels would run in the same direction and that wouldn't help to much.

I also am going to try this one end mill that will make the botom of the channel groooved instead of flat. So instead of a 90 degree angle from the bottom of the channel to the side of the channel it will be U shapped. And then I was thinking about taking my 1/8" end mill and making the side walls bumpy. I will run the end mill into the side walls about every 1/4".
