I will be using a 1/32 slitting saw to cut some fins (actually the channels). Now obveously I have to be careful to make sure I have enough room to cut the chennels w/out cutting into the "outer walls" of the base. Here is where I am running into problems w/ how long I can make my fins.

So I am wondering if it'll be ok if I don't run the saw all the way though the fins. So there will be a small arc, which will go to a higher step in the base.Here is a drawing... kinda. The base in the center of the fins will be 1/16" but because of the blade size both ends will be higher (not sure how much). Do you think this will be ok? Any other ideas? I will be able to cut the center channels fine, but because of the radius on both ends I will start to hit that. I could make the ends square but I don't think that will be as good.

Thanks for you input.
