Vortex Tool Series 6600 Three-Wing Slotting Cutter, 2 in Diameter × 0.250 in Kerf
Three-Wing
Slotting Cutter
A carbide-tipped Vortex profile cutter built on a precision-machined, one-piece alloy-steel body. SKU 6620 combines a 2-inch cutter diameter, 0.250-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 6620 is the 0.250-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 6620 a practical selection when a true 1/4-inch slot width is required.
The verified configuration uses three cutting wings, a 1/2-inch shank, a nominal 2-1/2-inch overall length, and a 0.250-inch kerf. Correct collet condition, shank engagement, cutter clearance, workholding, feed, spindle speed, chip evacuation, and toolpath strategy remain essential to cut quality and safe machine operation.

Product Highlights
True 0.250-Inch Kerf
The verified quarter-inch cutting width supports consistent horizontal slots where a 0.250-inch kerf is required.
Three-Wing Carbide-Tipped Design
Three brazed carbide-tipped wings provide the official Series 6600 cutting configuration on a rigid one-piece body.

The 2-inch-diameter cutter is specified for horizontal slotting and compatible trimming operations up to 3/4 inch deep.
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, the nominal 2-1/2-inch overall length, 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.
