Routing a slot in a brittle laquered surface

(I noticed that my old email address was on my previous post, so
re-posting....)

Hello,

As you can tell by the question, I'm not an experienced woodworker.

Anyway, I need to elongate an existing slot in a surface with a brittle
laquered finish, and don't want that finish to splinter or crack. I have
router bits and drills, and can also get access to metalworking endmills.

Any suggestions? How do the pros do that?

Thanks in Advance,
Jim Mass
