Also if I plan to cut up to tool steel
It isn't magically hard until heat treated - might help to read up on the materials you want to work with
"Also if I plan to cut up to tool steel, I would have to go with carbide, correct? (I would think that HSS wouldn't work)"
-If the "tool steel" hasn't been hardened you can most certainly use a HSS end mill or slitting saw (preferable) to cut a thin slot. Just use the appropriate RPM and coolant/cutting oil. The previous advice from g-coder05 about the piece collapsing is very possible. This can trap the cutter AND change the way it fits/threads onto the mating component.
