Designed for compatible high-speed CNC routers and routing machines using a correctly sized 1/2-inch collet or toolholder. Confirm spindle rotation, tool projection, workpiece thickness, cut depth, RPM, feed, workholding, and chip evacuation before production use.
Main Product Description
The Vortex Tool 3289 is part of the Series 3200 three-flute compression-spiral range. Its upcut and downcut flute sections compress the material toward the centre of the cut, helping control chipping and fuzzing along both workpiece faces.
Vortex marks the 0.250-inch upcut configuration for mortise cuts or thin materials. The three-flute design provides additional cutting-edge engagement to support faster feed capability, while the compression geometry is intended to maintain excellent finishes on both sides of compatible routed material.
The verified 3289 configuration uses a 1/2-inch cutting-edge diameter, 1-inch cutting-edge length, 1/2-inch shank, 3-inch overall length, 0.250-inch upcut section, three flutes, mortise compression geometry, and right-hand rotation. Correct collet condition, spindle runout, projection, feed, RPM, workholding, and chip evacuation are essential to finish quality and tool life.

Product Highlights
Three-Flute Feed Capability
The three-flute configuration provides additional cutting-edge engagement to support faster feed capability in compatible production routing.
Two-Sided Edge Control
Combined upcut and downcut flute sections compress the cut toward the workpiece centre to support excellent finishes on both sides.
Compatibility & Installation Notes
Confirm a clean, undamaged 1/2-inch collet or compatible holder, correct right-hand spindle rotation, adequate shank engagement, safe tool projection, machine RPM limits, feed rate, workpiece support, workholding, and chip evacuation before use. Program the cut so the 0.250-inch upcut section and compression transition are positioned correctly within the workpiece. Final feed and speed values must be established for the machine, material, cut depth, and required finish.
Mortise Compression Control
Vortex Tool 3289 combines Series 3200 three-flute mortise compression geometry with a verified 1/2-inch cutting diameter, 1-inch cutting length, 0.250-inch upcut, 1/2-inch shank, and 3-inch overall length.
The solid-carbide design is intended for compatible high-speed routing applications where mortise capability, thin-material processing, faster feed potential, and excellent finishes on both sides are important production goals.
