Royce Ayr 2-Flute Straight Solid Carbide Router Bit - 1/2" Dia x 1-1/4" Cut
2-Flute Straight
Wood & Plastic Router Bit
Solid-carbide, right-hand straight-flute router bit designed for general-purpose routing in solid wood, MDF, wood composites, and compatible hard plastics. Its 1/2-inch cutting diameter, 1-1/4-inch cutting edge, 1/2-inch shank, and 3-1/2-inch overall length support accurate routing, grooving, slotting, and dado production.
Main Product Description
The Royce Ayr 2-Flute Straight Wood & Plastic Router Bit R56-31119 is a general-purpose solid-carbide routing tool for solid wood, MDF, wood composites, and compatible hard plastics. Its 0.5000-inch cutting diameter and 1.250-inch cutting edge provide the capacity required 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 predictable chip formation, dimensional consistency, and clean vertical surfaces are required across compatible wood and plastic materials.
The 0.500-inch shank and 3.500-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
Straight-Flute Control
Two straight cutting flutes provide neutral axial action and stable sidewall control for general-purpose routing in compatible materials.
Rigid 1/2-Inch Shank
The 1/2-inch shank supports secure precision toolholding and helps limit deflection during properly configured production-routing operations.
Extended Cutting Capacity
The 1-1/4-inch cutting edge and 3-1/2-inch overall length provide added reach for deeper grooves, slots, and profile-routing 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 3-1/2-inch (88.9 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 Wood & Plastic Router Bit R56-31119 provides a solid-carbide solution for general-purpose routing in solid wood, MDF, wood composites, and compatible hard plastics. Its 1/2-inch diameter and 1-1/4-inch cutting edge support profiling, grooving, slotting, dado work, and other production-routing operations.
Balanced two-flute cutting action and right-hand rotation help maintain clean sidewalls, controlled chip formation, and consistent dimensions when the tool is correctly held and operated within suitable machining parameters.
