Royce Ayr 2-Flute Straight Solid Carbide Router Bit - 1/2" Diameter x 1" Cut
2-Flute Straight-Flute
Router Bit
Solid-carbide right-hand straight-flute router bit designed for general-purpose CNC routing in solid wood, MDF, and compatible plastics. Its 1/2-inch cutting diameter, 1-inch cutting edge, 1/2-inch shank, and 3-inch overall length support controlled slotting, dadoing, grooving, trimming, and profile work.
Main Product Description
The Royce Ayr 2-Flute Straight-Flute General-Purpose Router Bit R56-11814 is designed for routing solid wood, MDF, and compatible plastics. Its straight-flute geometry provides neutral axial cutting action compared with upcut or downcut spirals, supporting controlled slotting, dadoing, grooving, trimming, and profile work.
The 0.5000-inch cutting diameter and 1.000-inch cutting edge provide a balanced format for common cabinet, millwork, and component-routing operations. The matching 0.500-inch shank and 3.000-inch overall length provide a rigid interface for compatible CNC router collets and toolholding systems.
This uncoated HW solid-carbide tool uses two flutes and right-hand rotation. Correct collet condition, minimum practical projection, verified runout, suitable RPM, feed rate, depth-per-pass, workholding, and chip evacuation are essential for maintaining finish quality, dimensional control, and reliable tool life.
Best Fit Applications
Product Highlights
Neutral Straight-Flute Action
The straight geometry provides controlled sidewall cutting without the axial chip direction of upcut or downcut spiral designs.
Rigid 1/2-Inch Format
The 1/2-inch cutting diameter and matching shank provide a stable configuration for common production-routing operations.
Solid-Carbide Construction
The HW solid-carbide body supports cutting-edge retention and repeatable dimensions in compatible shop materials.
Compatibility & Installation Notes
Confirm that the spindle and toolholder accept an exact 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) shank and provide adequate clearance for the 3-inch overall length and required projection. Inspect and clean the collet, collet nut, and tool shank, minimize unsupported projection, verify runout, and confirm right-hand rotation before machining. Match RPM, feed rate, depth-per-pass, workholding, and chip evacuation to the selected material and machine conditions.
Improve General-Purpose Routing Control
The Royce Ayr 2-Flute Straight-Flute General-Purpose Router Bit R56-11814 provides an uncoated HW solid-carbide solution for controlled routing in solid wood, MDF, and compatible plastics.
Its 1/2-inch diameter, 1-inch cutting edge, matching shank, two-flute geometry, right-hand rotation, and 3-inch overall length support repeatable production machining when correctly held and operated.
