Under VTK 4.x you could look at:

 Examples/GUI/Tcl/ProbingWithPlaneWidget.tcl

This is of course bleeding edge stuff.  If you want a less fancy
example look at:

Examples/VisualizationAlgorithms/Tcl/CutCombustor.tcl

Also, in the future look at the online documentation to find examples.
For instance the documentation for vtkCutter is here:

http://public.kitware.com/VTK/doc/nightly/html/classvtkCutter.html

There are links to examples. 

http://public.kitware.com/VTK/doc/nightly/html/c2_vtk_e_0.html#c2_vtk_e_vtkCutter

Also use grep or better rgrep (recursive grep) on the Examples
directory to find what you want.
