Royce Ayr 2-Flute Straight Carbide Router Bit - 1/2" Dia x 1" Cut
2-Flute Straight Flute
General-Purpose Router Bit
Solid-carbide straight-flute router bit for general-purpose machining in solid wood, MDF, and selected plastics. Its 1/2-inch cutting diameter, 1-inch cutting edge, 1/2-inch shank, two-flute geometry, and 3-inch overall length provide a compact format for compatible CNC routing systems.
Main Product Description
The Royce Ayr 2-Flute Straight General-Purpose Router Bit R56-11814 belongs to Royce Ayr's Straight Flute General Purpose series. The manufacturer specifies this series for routing solid wood, MDF, and some plastics.
Its straight two-flute geometry provides a general-purpose cutting format without the pronounced upward or downward chip direction associated with helical tooling. This makes the tool suitable for compatible slotting, grooving, edge-routing, and profile-machining operations.
The 0.5000-inch cutting diameter, 1.000-inch cutting edge, 0.500-inch shank, and 3.000-inch overall length require a compatible precision collet or approved toolholder. Before machining, verify collet condition, runout, right-hand spindle rotation, tool projection, spindle speed, feed rate, depth per pass, workholding, and chip extraction for the material being processed.
Best Fit Applications
Product Highlights
Straight-Flute Cutting Format
Straight cutting edges provide a general-purpose geometry for compatible wood, MDF, and plastic routing applications.
Two-Flute Construction
The two-flute format provides balanced cutting engagement when spindle speed, feed rate, and chip load are correctly matched.
Compact 1/2-Inch Tool Format
The 1/2-inch diameter and shank, 1-inch cutting edge, and 3-inch overall length suit compatible CNC routing systems.
Compatibility & Installation Notes
Confirm that the CNC router spindle or 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 projection, verify right-hand rotation and runout, and establish suitable spindle speed, feed rate, depth per pass, workholding, and chip extraction for the solid wood, MDF, or plastic being machined.
Add General-Purpose Straight-Flute Capability
The Royce Ayr 2-Flute Straight General-Purpose Router Bit R56-11814 provides a solid-carbide solution for general-purpose routing in solid wood, MDF, and selected plastics.
Its 1/2-inch diameter and shank, 1-inch cutting edge, two-flute straight geometry, and 3-inch overall length suit compatible CNC systems when the tool is correctly held and operated within appropriate machining parameters.
