Royce Ayr 2-Flute Compression Spiral Router Bit 1/2 in (12.7 mm)
2-Flute Compression Spiral
Router Bit
Solid-carbide compression spiral router bit designed for CNC routing laminated or veneered wood and wood composites when clean top and bottom edge quality is important. Its 1/2-inch cutting diameter, 7/8-inch cutting edge, 1/2-inch upcut length, 1/2-inch shank, and 3-inch overall length support compact panel-processing applications.
Main Product Description
The Royce Ayr 2-Flute Compression Spiral Router Bit R60-11402 is part of the R60-114 compression series for CNC routing laminated or veneered wood and wood-composite panels. Its compression geometry combines upward and downward shearing action to help reduce chipping on both panel faces when clean top and bottom finish is important.
The tool features a 0.500-inch (12.7 mm) cutting diameter, 0.875-inch (22.23 mm) cutting edge, 0.500-inch (12.7 mm) upcut length, 0.500-inch (12.7 mm) shank, and 3.000-inch (76.2 mm) overall length. This compact configuration is suited to cabinet parts, casework components, veneered materials, laminated sheet goods, and compatible composite wood products within the verified cutting length.
The 1/2-inch shank supports compatible CNC spindle and collet setups, while the 7/8-inch cutting edge keeps the tool focused on applications that match its verified cutting depth. Correct tool projection, collet condition, spindle speed, feed rate, material thickness, and hold-down are essential for maintaining finish quality and tool performance.
Best Fit Applications
Product Highlights
Compression Edge Control
Upward and downward shearing action helps reduce chipping on the top and bottom faces of laminated and veneered panels.
Compact 1/2-Inch Format
The 1/2-inch diameter, 7/8-inch cutting edge, and 3-inch overall length suit compact CNC panel-routing applications.
Solid-Carbide Construction
Solid-carbide construction supports cutting-edge retention, dimensional stability, and production routing in compatible panel materials.
Compatibility & Installation Notes
Confirm that the CNC router spindle, collet, and toolholder accept an exact 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) shank. Verify that the 7/8-inch cutting edge and 1/2-inch upcut section are appropriate for the material thickness and programmed cutting depth. Inspect toolholding components, minimize unsupported projection, and establish suitable spindle speed, feed rate, cutting strategy, hold-down, guarding, and dust extraction before machining.
Improve Panel Edge Quality
The Royce Ayr 2-Flute Compression Spiral Router Bit R60-11402 provides a compact solid-carbide solution for laminated, veneered, and wood-composite panel routing. Its 1/2-inch cutting diameter, 7/8-inch cutting edge, 1/2-inch upcut length, 1/2-inch shank, and 3-inch overall length support controlled production machining within the verified cutting range.
Compression cutting action helps manage chipping on both panel faces when the tool is correctly held, projected, and operated using suitable machining parameters for the actual material and application.
