A couple more thoughts.
My calipers is off by .009 when measuring depth. I always have to adjust the zero before each depth measurement and then adjust it back for "normal" OD measurements. Check yours and also double check your DRO with something of a known dimension.
The slot being to narrow could be the caliper reading incorrectly for inside dimensions, or it could be flex of the machine and or the cutter. 1.248 deep x .126 side cut is a pretty big cut, something is bending. Are you climb milling or conventional milling?
Use the DRO and the calipers to measure the slot width. if they do not agree then you need to get something with a known inside dimension to find out which is correct.
