You can see below the "basic" milling equipment I used. I'd liketo have used some very expensive CNC equipment, but only had a 40 year old broken mini lathe, (as a milling bed that has no motor), and a cheap and nasty Wickes pillar drill with the worst chuck I've ever come across!!

I did attempt to mill the slot at first but the pillar drill & lathe bed were not up to it and in danger of breaking. The slot was also going askew and everything was shaking. I decided just drilling down with the slot cutter would do as flow rate is not a major issue for the block I was making.
