That cutter is fine and tilt the slide indicate the top of the slide if using that cutter. Depth is note a matter if taste I've cut them .010-.030 depends if it's more a tactical build or classic imo. The edge that separates the flat from the radius follows the top of the slide.
The deeper you go the wider it will get, they make them in various angles 60 degree, 45 degree. The 45 degree obviously a wider cut. Run that cutter pretty slow, 180-220 rpm is where I run that but, I don't use that cutter for French borders.
