Need help with op to machine radius bottomed slot.

Hello Forum,

 

I have a bracket that I need to machine a radiused bottom shallow slot down one length. The part is machined otherwise. I have tried 2D contour and was not getting what I wanted. I need the tool path to go straight through the slot so as the slot is open at both ends of the blank I've made. I expect there is some setting or path selection I am getting wrong. Using .375 2 flute ball mill in 6061 Aluminum. Picture and file attached. Thanks. Jgaertner
