Three-Wing
Slotting Cutter
A carbide-tipped Vortex profile cutter built on a precision-machined, one-piece alloy-steel body. SKU 6615 combines a 2-inch cutter diameter, 0.187-inch kerf, 1/2-inch shank, 3/4-inch cutting depth, and three-wing geometry for horizontal slotting and compatible flush-trimming operations.
Main Product Description
The Vortex Tool 6615 is the 0.187-inch-kerf model in the Series 6600 three-wing slotting-cutter family. Vortex constructs the cutter from a precision-machined, one-piece alloy-steel body and equips it with brazed carbide cutting tips.
Its 2-inch diameter and 3/4-inch depth-of-cut capacity are intended for horizontal slotting and compatible flush-trimming operations. Vortex specifies the series for wood, wood composites, and plastic, making the 6615 a practical selection when a 0.187-inch slot width is required.
The verified configuration uses three cutting wings, a 1/2-inch shank, a 2-inch cutter diameter, and a 0.187-inch kerf. Correct collet condition, shank engagement, cutter clearance, workholding, feed, spindle speed, chip evacuation, and toolpath strategy remain essential to cut quality and machine operation.

Compatibility & Installation Notes
Use a clean, undamaged precision 1/2-inch collet or compatible holder and maintain adequate shank engagement without contacting the cutter body. Confirm clearance for the full 2-inch diameter, the planned 3/4-inch maximum cutting depth, and all machine guards or fixtures. Verify spindle condition, rotation, workholding, entry strategy, feed rate, spindle speed, chip evacuation, and toolpath direction before production. Do not use the cutter if any carbide tip, wing, body section, or shank is damaged.
