Main Product Description
The Vortex Tool 6810 is part of the Series 6800 solid-carbide upcut bottom-surfacing cutter family. Vortex specifies this two-flute router bit for pocketing applications where the bottom of the pocket must be smooth.
Its 1/8-inch cutting diameter and 3/8-inch cutting-edge length provide a compact format for small flat-bottom pockets, narrow recesses, detail cavities, and localized surfacing operations. The 0.010-inch corner radius eases the junction between the pocket wall and floor while retaining a nearly square-bottom profile.
The verified 6810 dimensions are a 1/8-inch cutting-edge diameter, 3/8-inch cutting-edge length, 1/4-inch shank diameter, and 2-inch overall length. Correct collet condition, shank engagement, tool projection, programmed depth, ramping, workholding, feed, speed, and chip evacuation remain essential to surface quality and tool life.

Product Highlights
Compact Two-Flute Upcut
The verified two-flute upcut configuration supports chip removal from small pockets while the bottom-cutting profile finishes the floor.
0.010-Inch Corner Radius
The small corner radius lightly eases the wall-to-floor junction while preserving the near-square pocket-bottom geometry.
Compatibility & Installation Notes
Use a clean, undamaged precision 1/4-inch collet or compatible holder and maintain adequate shank engagement without clamping on the cutting edge. Confirm that the programmed pocket depth and all ramping or plunging moves remain within the verified 3/8-inch cutting-edge length. Verify tool projection, spindle condition, rotation, workholding, entry strategy, feed rate, spindle speed, chip evacuation, and machine clearance before production. Replace the cutter if the cutting edges, corner radius, shank, or carbide body show damage.
Smooth, Controlled Detail Pockets
Vortex Tool 6810 combines solid-carbide construction, two-flute upcut geometry, and a 0.010-inch corner radius in a compact 1/8-inch-diameter cutter designed for smooth-bottom pocketing.
Correct collet fit, tool projection, pocket depth, entry strategy, cutting parameters, workholding, and chip evacuation are essential for achieving the intended floor finish and consistent cutter service life.
