What is the best/easiest way to cut a slot in a 1/4" Brass rod for an e-clip? The slot needs to be about .020" deep and .030" wide. The dimensions are not that critical - I just want to keep something from falling off a stationary shaft. Two slots will be about 1/4" from the end of the rod. One will be about 3" from the end of the rod.
