Main Product Description
The Vortex Tool 5631XP is part of the Series 5600XP single-edge Xtreme Performance O-flute upcut range for plastics. Vortex developed the XP geometry as an advancement of its established single-edge O-flute design for use in both hard and soft plastic materials.
The single cutting edge creates generous flute space for chip formation, while the upcut spiral carries chips toward the top of the cut. This geometry supports chip evacuation in CNC plastic-routing operations when feed, spindle speed, depth of cut, and workholding are matched to the material.
The verified 5631XP configuration uses a 1/4-inch cutting-edge diameter, 1/2-inch cutting-edge length, 1/4-inch shank, and 4-inch overall length. The extended overall length makes correct tool projection, collet engagement, spindle runout control, and conservative setup validation especially important.

Product Highlights
Single-Edge Upcut Design
The one-flute upcut configuration provides open chip space and directs chips upward during CNC plastic routing.
Verified Long-OAL Format
The 1/4-inch diameter and shank are paired with a 1/2-inch cutting length and a verified 4-inch overall length.
Compatibility & Installation Notes
Confirm a clean, undamaged 1/4-inch collet or compatible holder, adequate shank engagement, safe tool projection, machine RPM limits, feed rate, depth of cut, workholding, and chip evacuation before use. The verified 4-inch overall length requires careful projection and runout control. Match the XP O-flute geometry to the specific plastic grade and validate the setup before production.
XP Plastic-Routing Performance
Vortex Tool 5631XP combines single-edge upcut O-flute geometry with the Series 5600XP design for compatible hard and soft plastics, using a verified 1/4-inch cutting diameter, 1/2-inch cutting length, 1/4-inch shank, and 4-inch overall length.
Correct collet fit, spindle condition, tool projection, feed, RPM, depth of cut, chip evacuation, and workholding are essential to achieving the intended finish and service life.
