That makes things easier, and the 9/64" bit is more stable.

At the complexity of the inside you have there, I don't see anything short of CNC that that could reasonably do the job. Those sharp inside corners are hard, but it looks like a single cutter pass can probably run past far enough to work if that direction were taken.
