On your first cut you cannot avoid doing both at the same time.
Also if you are cutting a tee slot you should be using a tee slot cutter not a Woodruff cutter. Woodruff cutters are only side cutting, tee slot cutters are side and face cutting. Also tee slot cutters are sized to cut standard tee slots while Woodruff cutters are sized to cut keyways for Woodruff and a very different in proportions, diameter and thickness, to tee slot cutters.
