Royce Ayr Solid Carbide Up-Cut O-Flute Router Bit - 3/16" Dia x 3/8" Cut
Single-Flute O-Flute Upcut
Soft-Plastic Router Bit
Solid-carbide, right-hand O-flute upcut router bit designed for routing soft plastics. Its 3/16-inch cutting diameter, 3/8-inch cutting edge, 1/4-inch shank, and 2-inch overall length combine with single-flute geometry and an upcut form that supports effective chip removal in compatible CNC routing applications.
Main Product Description
The Royce Ayr Single-Flute O-Flute Soft-Plastic Upcut Router Bit R63-71709 is engineered for routing soft plastics in compatible CNC systems. Its 0.1875-inch cutting diameter and 0.375-inch cutting edge provide a compact configuration for profiling, slotting, trimming, and controlled material removal in sign-making and clad-panel applications.
The single-flute O-flute geometry creates a large chip space, while the upcut form carries chips away from the cutting zone. Royce Ayr identifies this series specifically for soft plastics and notes that the upcut design provides good chip removal.
The 0.250-inch shank and 2.000-inch overall length require a compatible precision collet or approved toolholder. Before production, verify collet condition, runout, right-hand spindle rotation, tool projection, spindle speed, feed rate, depth per pass, workholding, plastic compatibility, and chip extraction.
Best Fit Applications
Product Highlights
Single-Flute O-Flute Geometry
The large single-flute chip space supports efficient chip formation and evacuation when routing compatible soft-plastic materials.
Upcut Chip Removal
The right-hand upcut design carries chips away from the cutting zone to support cleaner routing and reduce chip recutting.
Compact 1/4-Inch Shank Format
The 1/4-inch shank, 3/16-inch cutting diameter, and 2-inch overall length suit detailed CNC plastic-routing operations.
Compatibility & Installation Notes
Confirm that the CNC router spindle or toolholder accepts an exact 1/4-inch (6.35 mm) shank and provides sufficient clearance for the 2-inch (50.8 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, plastic compatibility, and chip extraction according to the machine and approved shop procedures.
Improve Soft-Plastic Chip Control
The Royce Ayr Single-Flute O-Flute Soft-Plastic Upcut Router Bit R63-71709 provides a solid-carbide solution for routing soft plastics. Its 3/16-inch diameter, 3/8-inch cutting edge, 1/4-inch shank, single-flute geometry, and 2-inch overall length support profiling, slotting, trimming, and production routing.
O-flute cutting geometry and an upcut form support effective chip removal when the tool is correctly held and operated within suitable plastic-machining parameters.
