Ramped & Curved Slot Machining

Hi all, 

 

Looking for some help on the correct strategy to machine the slot in the attached f3d file. 

 

The slot travels around 90 Degrees but also has a ramped bottom. A ball bearing would be used to travel in the slot so i wanted to rough it out and then finish with a single cleanup pass using a 10mm Ball Nose Cutter for the curved base.

 

Any ideas? I am struggling to find a strategy that will stay parallel to the slot and also follow the ramped base.

 

Regards Adam
