The guide pin is there to stop the tool end from flopping around like a salmon out of water, the pin was turned down to about .122" and the slot is from a single pass of a 1/8" carbide end mill.
Since the tool bit has to move up and down and not side to side, as long as the plate stopped (limited) side to side movement, it should work.
