Royce Ayr 1/2" Diameter x 1-1/8" Cut 2-Flute Low Helix Up-Cut Solid Carbide Router Bit
2-Flute Low-Helix Upcut
Pocketing Bit
Solid-carbide low-helix upcut pocketing router bit designed for plastics, composites, finish passes in solid wood, and MDF door manufacturing. Its 1/2-inch cutting diameter, 1-1/8-inch cutting edge, 1/2-inch shank, 3-inch overall length, and 0.030-inch corner radius support clean pocket floors and controlled chip evacuation.
Main Product Description
The Royce Ayr 2-Flute Low-Helix Upcut Pocketing Router Bit R52-74036 is designed for routing plastics and composites, performing finish passes in solid wood, and producing pocketing operations in MDF door manufacturing. Its 0.5000-inch cutting diameter and 1.125-inch cutting edge provide a versatile configuration for pocketing, slotting, profiling, and finishing work.
The low-helix upcut geometry moves chips away from the cutting zone while moderating axial force and cutting pressure. A 0.030-inch corner radius supports smoother pocket bottoms and helps reduce sharp internal transitions at the base of machined features.
The solid-carbide construction, 0.500-inch shank, two cutting flutes, right-hand rotation, and 3.000-inch overall length are intended for precision CNC routing systems. Correct collet condition, minimum practical projection, verified runout, suitable spindle speed, feed rate, chip load, and depth-per-pass are essential for controlling heat and maintaining finish quality.
Best Fit Applications
Product Highlights
Low-Helix Upcut Geometry
The moderated helix angle supports chip evacuation while reducing aggressive axial force during pocketing and finishing passes.
Radiused Pocket Corners
The 0.030-inch corner radius helps produce smoother pocket bottoms and controlled internal transitions.
Solid-Carbide Stability
The one-piece carbide construction supports cutting-edge retention, rigidity, and repeatable dimensions in production routing.
Compatibility & Installation Notes
Confirm that the spindle and toolholder accept an exact 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) shank. Inspect and clean the collet, collet nut, and tool shank before installation, minimize unsupported projection, and verify runout before machining. Establish spindle speed, feed rate, chip load, and depth-per-pass for the selected plastic, composite, wood, or MDF material, and maintain effective chip extraction to control heat.
Improve Pocketing and Finish Quality
The Royce Ayr 2-Flute Low-Helix Upcut Pocketing Router Bit R52-74036 provides a solid-carbide solution for plastics, composites, solid-wood finishing, and MDF door pocketing.
Its 1/2-inch diameter, 1-1/8-inch cutting edge, 0.030-inch corner radius, 1/2-inch shank, and 3-inch overall length support controlled chip flow and smooth pocket-bottom machining when correctly applied.
