Royce Ayr 2-Flute Up Cut Solid Carbide Router Bit - 1/8" Dia x 1/2" Cut
2-Flute Upcut Spiral
Router Bit
Solid-carbide, right-hand, two-flute general-purpose router bit for solid wood, wood composites, MDF, core panels, and compatible plastics. Its 1/8-inch cutting diameter, 1/2-inch cutting edge, 1/4-inch shank, and 2-inch overall length support precise grooving, slotting, profiling, and detailed component machining with efficient upward chip evacuation.
Main Product Description
The Royce Ayr 2-Flute General-Purpose Upcut Spiral Router Bit R52-22801 is manufactured for routing solid wood, wood composites, MDF, core panels, and compatible plastics. Its 0.1250-inch cutting diameter and 0.500-inch cutting edge provide a fine-diameter configuration for detailed profiles, narrow grooves, slots, channels, and cabinet-component machining.
The two-flute upcut spiral geometry carries chips upward and away from the cutting zone, supporting efficient evacuation during deeper grooving and slotting passes. The 0.250-inch shank provides compatibility with precision 1/4-inch collets, while the solid-carbide construction supplies the rigidity and edge retention required for controlled production use.
With a 2.000-inch overall length and right-hand rotation, this router bit is suited to compatible CNC and industrial routing equipment. Correct collet condition, minimal unsupported projection, secure workholding, and properly established spindle speed, feed rate, and depth-per-pass are essential for consistent cutting quality and tool life.
Best Fit Applications
Product Highlights
Efficient Upward Chip Evacuation
The upcut spiral geometry carries chips away from the cutting zone, supporting clear grooves and controlled material removal during routing passes.
Fine-Diameter Cutting Control
The 1/8-inch cutting diameter supports narrow slots, detailed profiles, and compact machining features where larger-diameter tools cannot reach.
Solid-Carbide Rigidity
The solid-carbide construction supports edge retention, dimensional control, and stable cutting when the tool is correctly held and operated.
Compatibility & Installation Notes
Confirm that the spindle or router toolholder accepts an exact 1/4-inch (6.35 mm) shank. Inspect the collet and nut for wear or contamination, minimize unsupported tool projection, and verify runout before machining. Because upcut geometry can create upward cutting force, secure the workpiece and confirm that the selected cut direction is appropriate for the required top and bottom edge finish. Establish spindle speed, feed rate, and depth-per-pass according to the material, machine power, workholding, and tool condition.
Improve Fine-Diameter Routing Control
The Royce Ayr 2-Flute General-Purpose Upcut Spiral Router Bit R52-22801 provides a compact solid-carbide solution for detailed wood, panel, MDF, and compatible-plastic machining. Its 1/8-inch diameter, 1/2-inch cutting edge, 1/4-inch shank, and 2-inch overall length support repeatable narrow-groove and profile work.
Two-flute upcut geometry and right-hand rotation promote effective chip evacuation and controlled cutting when the tool is installed in a suitable collet and operated within appropriate machining parameters.
