    Which operation for a T-Slot ?

    Hello,
    I'd have to mill a t-slot similar to the one you can see in the attached 'drawing'. I have the tool designed and added to the tool crib. Ihave the 3d file of the part but don't know which operation to use for this.
    The tool has a diameter of 100mm and is 10mm thick with a radius of 5mm.

    Which operation to use ?
    Thanks in advance !

    Richard
