Ricky It's not clear if your using a center cut mill, but I'm sure you are if you were plunging. What I would do in your case I would ramp the slot. I would start .05 above the part and move to a Z-.025 with your X or Y axis and back again  with another Z-.025 ramp (total of .050). Continuing until you get to your final depth. ps typing in all lower case is better than SHOUTING!
