Royce Ayr 2-Flute Chipbreaker Compression Router Bit — 1/2 in (12.7 mm)
2-Flute Chipbreaker Compression
Router Bit
A solid-carbide, right-hand chipbreaker compression CNC router bit designed for laminated or veneered wood and wood composites where controlled top and bottom edge finish is critical.
Main Product Description
The Royce Ayr R60-11004 is a 2-flute chipbreaker compression router bit from Royce Ayr’s Precision CNC Tooling / Solid Carbide Tooling range. It is designed for CNC routing applications where laminated or veneered wood and wood composite panels need clean top and bottom edges.
The compression geometry combines upward and downward shearing action to help prevent chipping of laminates during the cut. The chipbreaker design helps reduce furring or tearout in plywood cores, making this tool a practical option for cabinet, casegoods, and panel-processing shops that need dependable edge quality in composite and veneered materials.
With a 1/2 in (12.7 mm) cutting diameter, 1-1/8 in (28.58 mm) cutting edge, 0.495 in (12.57 mm) upcut length, 1/2 in (12.7 mm) shank, and 3 in (76.2 mm) overall length, R60-11004 fits common CNC router setups that require a right-hand 2-flute compression chipbreaker tool. The 1/2 in (12.7 mm) shank supports a rigid setup when matched with the correct collet and toolholder, while the verified cutting dimensions help determine appropriate material thickness, cutting depth, and tool projection.
Best Fit Applications
Product Highlights
Compression Edge Quality
The compression cutting action uses upward and downward shear to help reduce laminate chipping on both the top and bottom faces.
Chipbreaker Core Control
The chipbreaker geometry helps reduce furring or tearout in plywood cores during cabinet, casegoods, and panel-processing work.
Rigid 1/2-Inch Setup
The 1/2-inch cutting diameter and 1/2-inch shank support a rigid CNC setup when matched with the correct collet and toolholder.
Compatibility & Installation Notes
Confirm that the CNC router spindle, collet, and toolholder accept an exact 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) shank. Verify right-hand rotation, tool projection, available clearance, guarding, dust extraction, RPM, feed speed, cutting depth, material thickness, and hold-down before machining. Compression tooling must be positioned so the upcut and downcut sections engage the workpiece correctly, and material suitability should be confirmed against the actual laminate, veneer, plywood core, or composite panel being routed.
Control Both Panel Faces
The Royce Ayr 2-Flute Chipbreaker Compression Router Bit R60-11004 is designed for laminated or veneered wood and wood composites where clean top and bottom edges are important. Compression cutting action helps reduce laminate chipping, while the chipbreaker geometry supports control of furring and tearout in plywood core materials.
Its 1/2-inch cutting diameter, 1-1/8-inch cutting edge, 0.495-inch upcut length, 1/2-inch shank, right-hand rotation, and 3-inch overall length make it a strong fit for compatible CNC router setups in cabinet, casegoods, and nested-based panel production.
