Downcut Material Control
The downcut design directs cutting force toward the work surface to assist material hold-down during compatible routing operations.


Solid-carbide O-flute downcut router bit designed for routing soft plastics. Its 1/4-inch cutting diameter, 3/4-inch cutting edge, 1/4-inch shank, and 2-1/2-inch overall length provide a balanced format for profiling, slotting, trimming, and CNC nesting applications where downward cutting force can assist material hold-down.
This single-flute solid-carbide tool uses polished O-flute geometry and a downcut design to support controlled chip formation while applying downward cutting force to compatible soft-plastic materials.
Designed for compatible CNC routers using a precision 1/4-inch (6.35 mm) collet or approved toolholding system with sufficient clearance for the 2-1/2-inch overall length.
The Royce Ayr Single-Flute O-Flute Soft-Plastic Downcut Router Bit R62-71505 is engineered for routing soft plastics in compatible CNC systems. Its 0.250-inch cutting diameter and 0.750-inch cutting edge provide a practical configuration for profiling, slotting, trimming, nesting, and controlled material removal in suitable plastic applications.
The single-flute O-flute geometry provides generous chip space, while the downcut form directs cutting force toward the work surface to assist material hold-down. This can improve workpiece stability during routing when the tool is used with suitable feeds, speeds, workholding, and chip extraction.
The 0.250-inch shank and 2.500-inch overall length require a compatible precision collet or approved toolholder. Before production, verify collet condition, runout, tool projection, spindle speed, feed rate, depth per pass, workholding, plastic compatibility, and chip extraction.
Technical Specifications
The downcut design directs cutting force toward the work surface to assist material hold-down during compatible routing operations.
The large flute space supports controlled chip formation while routing suitable soft-plastic materials.
The 1/4-inch diameter and shank with a 3/4-inch cutting edge suit profiling, slotting, trimming, and nesting work.
Confirm that the CNC router spindle or toolholder accepts an exact 1/4-inch (6.35 mm) shank and provides sufficient clearance for the 2-1/2-inch (63.5 mm) overall length. Inspect the collet and nut, minimize unsupported tool projection, verify runout, and establish spindle speed, feed rate, depth per pass, workholding, soft-plastic compatibility, and chip extraction according to the machine and approved shop procedures.
The Royce Ayr Single-Flute O-Flute Soft-Plastic Downcut Router Bit R62-71505 provides a solid-carbide solution for routing soft plastics. Its 1/4-inch diameter, 3/4-inch cutting edge, 1/4-inch shank, single-flute geometry, and 2-1/2-inch overall length support profiling, slotting, trimming, nesting, and production routing.
The downcut design assists material hold-down when the tool is correctly held and operated within suitable soft-plastic machining parameters.
