Also the spaces between the 6 stading posts can not be milled due to you wanting them to be square. If you dont mind that space being a circular gap, it could be done. Though if it needs to be a square gap, it would have to be cut out with a saw most likely.

Edit: ok you can mill the spaces and get a circular gap then grind/sand/file it to square but i doubt it would look or act as if you did it with a saw if you want it to be square.
