Royce Ayr 2-Flute Straight Solid Carbide Router Bit | 1/2" Diameter x 1" Cut Length
Double O-Flute
Router Bit
Two-flute solid-carbide O-flute router bit engineered for clean, free-cutting machining in soft plastics. Its 1/2-inch cutting diameter, 1-inch cutting edge, 1/2-inch shank, and 4-inch overall length provide extended reach for routing, profiling, slotting, and component trimming in compatible CNC systems.
Main Product Description
The Royce Ayr Double O-Flute General Plastics Router Bit R56-61415 is designed for routing soft plastics where controlled chip formation and clean edge quality are required. Its 0.5000-inch cutting diameter and 1.000-inch cutting edge support profiling, slotting, trimming, and component machining in compatible CNC routing systems.
The double O-flute geometry provides a free-cutting action that helps form and evacuate plastic chips while limiting unnecessary heat buildup. Two cutting edges distribute the machining load and support a smoother finish than comparable single-flute configurations when feed rate, spindle speed, and engagement are correctly matched to the material.
The 0.500-inch shank and 4.000-inch overall length provide additional reach for suitable applications. Correct collet condition, minimum practical tool projection, verified runout, appropriate chip load, and effective chip extraction are essential for controlling heat, avoiding material re-welding, and maintaining tool life.
Best Fit Applications
Product Highlights
Free-Cutting O-Flute Geometry
The open O-flute profile supports controlled chip formation and efficient cutting in compatible soft-plastic materials.
Two-Flute Finish Capability
Dual cutting edges distribute the machining load and support smoother edge quality when operated at suitable chip loads.
Extended 4-Inch Reach
The 4-inch overall length provides additional reach while retaining a rigid 1/2-inch solid-carbide shank interface.
Compatibility & Installation Notes
Confirm that the spindle and toolholder accept an exact 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) shank. Minimize unsupported projection, inspect and clean the collet and tool shank, and verify runout before machining. Establish spindle speed, feed rate, chip load, and depth-per-pass for the specific plastic grade, and maintain effective chip extraction to reduce heat buildup and material re-welding.
Improve Soft-Plastic Routing Control
The Royce Ayr Double O-Flute General Plastics Router Bit R56-61415 provides a solid-carbide solution for professional plastic-routing operations. Its 1/2-inch diameter, 1-inch cutting edge, 1/2-inch shank, and 4-inch overall length support profiling, slotting, trimming, and component production.
Double O-flute geometry helps produce controlled chips and clean edges when the tool is correctly held and operated with suitable spindle speed, feed rate, chip load, and extraction.
