Ho do I make a slot ? see picture

i tried with 1 circle 180 ark then 2 lines and the mirror the arc all so tried 2 circle 180 ark then transform (instead of mirror) then uses “add” sob ((delete geometry but keep points then polygons)) tab then group but get problems with lines joining up in the right way. Can;t work out how to do it right ;(

By jumping straight to Join SOP, it pulls the end edges together and the result doesn't have arc end points in place but ends pulled in. Turn template flag on the Mirror SOP arcs will show this.

Fillet SOP first, then Join by order. Then resample if you want polygons instead of NURBs result.
