If you wanted to make the milling of the slots easier, you might consider hobbing to rough out the form and finish with the milling cutter.
How many pieces do you need to manufacture? Depth of slot, width of slot, length of cut, circular pitch??? Can you gang cut them? Are you using a coolant in milling?
I see no oil in the photo.
