Rich, you can do this... think it through.

My suggestion would be either a rotary table cutting the inside curve,... or to do it on the cheap, put the raw attachment iron in a good vise and use a specially ground tool in a fly cutter in your vertical mill that is set up for the appropriate cut radius... Then walk the tool into the iron SLOWLY...
