I use slitting saws quite a bit in my shop, I'd advise against the use of Trace, unless the goal is to cut clean through the part. It's been my experience that one is best left with a small sliver that they can just twist off. To that end, I'd sketch a line down the center bottom of the part and use 2D Contour. You can also select a single edge on the opposite side and give it a hefty Radial Stock to Leave value. Using Cutter Comp will allow you to adjust for tool wear and part deflection.
