Royce Ayr 1/2" Diameter x 1" Cut Length 2-Flute Straight Solid Carbide Router Bit
2-Flute Straight-Flute
General-Purpose Router Bit
Right-hand, two-flute solid-carbide straight router bit designed for general-purpose 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 provide a balanced format for profiling, grooving, slotting, and dado operations in compatible CNC routing systems.
Main Product Description
The Royce Ayr 2-Flute Straight-Flute General-Purpose Router Bit R56-11814 is a general-purpose solid-carbide routing tool for solid wood, MDF, and compatible plastics. Its 0.5000-inch cutting diameter and 1.000-inch cutting edge provide a practical geometry for profiling, grooving, slotting, dado work, and other production-routing operations.
The two straight cutting flutes provide neutral axial cutting action and stable sidewall control. This geometry is well suited to applications where dimensional consistency, clean vertical surfaces, and predictable chip formation are required across compatible materials.
The 0.500-inch shank and 3.000-inch overall length require a compatible precision collet or approved toolholder. Collet condition, runout, tool projection, spindle direction, spindle speed, feed rate, depth per pass, workholding, and dust or chip extraction should be established for the material and machine.
Best Fit Applications
Product Highlights
Neutral Axial Cutting Action
Straight-flute geometry provides predictable cutting engagement without the lifting or downward thrust associated with spiral-flute designs.
Rigid 1/2-Inch Toolholding
The matching 1/2-inch shank supports secure precision toolholding and helps limit deflection in properly configured routing operations.
General-Purpose Production Format
The 1/2-inch diameter, 1-inch cutting edge, and 3-inch overall length suit a broad range of profiling, grooving, slotting, and dado applications.
Compatibility & Installation Notes
Confirm that the spindle or router toolholder accepts an exact 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) shank and provides sufficient clearance for the 3-inch (76.2 mm) overall length. Inspect the collet and nut, minimize unsupported tool projection, verify right-hand rotation and runout, and establish spindle speed, feed rate, depth per pass, workholding, and chip extraction according to the material, machine, and approved shop procedures.
Improve Straight-Flute Routing Consistency
The Royce Ayr 2-Flute Straight-Flute General-Purpose Router Bit R56-11814 provides a solid-carbide solution for general-purpose routing in solid wood, MDF, and compatible plastics. Its 1/2-inch diameter, 1-inch cutting edge, 1/2-inch shank, and 3-inch overall length support profiling, grooving, slotting, dado work, and other production-routing operations.
Balanced two-flute straight cutting action and right-hand rotation help maintain clean sidewalls and consistent dimensions when the tool is correctly held and operated within suitable machining parameters.
