Royce Ayr 3-Flute Downcut Low Helix Ripper 3/8 in (9.53 mm)
3-Flute Downcut Low Helix
Ripper Router Bit
Solid-carbide 3-flute downcut low helix ripper router bit designed for CNC routing where top-edge control, material hold-down, and reduced tear-out are important. Its 3/8-inch cutting diameter, 1-1/8-inch cutting edge, matching 3/8-inch shank, and 3-1/2-inch overall length support difficult wood grains, melamine, wood-based panels, and production routing with a serrated ripper-style tooth form.
Main Product Description
The Royce Ayr 3-Flute Downcut Low Helix Ripper Router Bit R60-01401 is designed for CNC routing applications where top-edge quality, material hold-down, and tear-out control are important. Its downcut geometry directs cutting pressure toward the table or spoilboard side of the workpiece, helping keep panels seated when the machine setup and vacuum hold-down are correctly matched.
The serrated ripper-style tooth form and low-helix design are intended to help control tear-out in difficult wood grains and support compatible melamine-routing applications. The 3/8-inch cutting diameter, 1-1/8-inch cutting edge, matching 3/8-inch shank, and 3-1/2-inch overall length provide a compact production format for compatible CNC router collets and toolholders.
This solid-carbide tool uses three downcut low-helix flutes. Rotation, RPM, and coating are not specified by the supplied source and should be confirmed before ordering, programming, or installation. Correct collet condition, minimum practical projection, verified runout, suitable feed rate, spindle speed, pass depth, spoilboard condition, vacuum hold-down, guarding, and dust or chip evacuation remain essential.
Best Fit Applications
Product Highlights
Downcut Hold-Down Control
The downcut action directs cutting pressure toward the table or spoilboard side to assist material hold-down during routing.
Serrated Ripper Tooth Design
The serrated ripper-style tooth form is intended to help control tear-out in difficult wood grains and compatible panel materials.
Compact 3/8-Inch Format
The matching cutting diameter and shank suit CNC setups requiring a compact solid-carbide downcut ripper tool.
Compatibility & Installation Notes
Confirm that the spindle, collet, and toolholder accept an exact 3/8-inch (9.53 mm) shank and provide adequate clearance for the 3-1/2-inch overall length and required projection. Rotation, RPM, and coating are not specified by the supplied source, so verify those details before ordering or programming. Confirm that downcut geometry and chip evacuation are suitable for the selected material, and match feed rate, pass depth, spoilboard condition, vacuum hold-down, guarding, and dust collection to the operation.
Improve Downcut Ripper Control
The Royce Ayr 3-Flute Downcut Low Helix Ripper Router Bit R60-01401 provides a solid-carbide solution for routing difficult wood grains, melamine, and wood-based panels where top-edge control and material hold-down matter.
Its 3/8-inch cutting diameter, 1-1/8-inch cutting edge, matching shank, three-flute low-helix downcut geometry, serrated tooth form, and 3-1/2-inch overall length support controlled production routing when correctly held and operated.
