Compression Edge Control
Upward and downward shearing action helps reduce chipping on the top and bottom faces of compatible laminated and veneered panels.


Solid-carbide, right-hand compression router bit designed for CNC routing laminated or veneered wood and wood composites where clean top and bottom edge finish is critical. Its 1/2-inch cutting diameter, 1-1/8-inch cutting edge, 0.400-inch upcut section, 1/2-inch shank, and 3-inch overall length suit compact production panel-routing applications.
This production-grade tool combines a rigid solid-carbide body, two compression flutes, and right-hand rotation to help control chipping on both faces of compatible laminated, veneered, and composite panels.
Designed for compatible CNC routers using precision 1/2-inch collets or approved toolholding systems. Match the 0.400-inch upcut section and 1-1/8-inch cutting edge to the panel thickness and programmed cutting depth.
The Royce Ayr Double Flute Compression Router Bit R60-11403 is engineered for CNC routing laminated or veneered wood and wood composite panels where both the top and bottom surfaces require controlled edge quality. Its compression geometry combines upward and downward shearing action to help reduce chipping on both faces of the material.
The tool features a 0.5000-inch cutting diameter, 1.125-inch cutting edge, 0.400-inch upcut section, 0.500-inch shank, two flutes, right-hand rotation, and a 3.000-inch overall length. This compact configuration is suited to compatible cabinet, millwork, window-and-door, stair-and-railing, and general panel-processing applications.
Solid-carbide construction supports cutting-edge retention, rigidity, and dimensional consistency in production routing. Correct collet condition, tool projection, spindle speed, feed rate, material thickness, hold-down, and depth-per-pass are essential for maintaining finish quality and tool life.
Technical Specifications
Upward and downward shearing action helps reduce chipping on the top and bottom faces of compatible laminated and veneered panels.
The 1/2-inch cutting diameter and shank with a 1-1/8-inch cutting edge suit compatible production panel-routing applications.
The 0.400-inch upcut length can be matched carefully to panel thickness and programmed cutting depth for correct compression engagement.
Confirm that the CNC router spindle, collet, and toolholder accept an exact 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) shank. Verify right-hand rotation, tool projection, runout, available clearance, guarding, dust extraction, hold-down, RPM, feed rate, pass depth, and material thickness before machining. Compression tools must be positioned so the 0.400-inch upcut section and remaining downcut geometry engage the workpiece correctly; confirm that the 1-1/8-inch cutting edge suits the panel and programmed cutting depth.
The Royce Ayr Double Flute Compression Router Bit R60-11403 provides a solid-carbide solution for CNC routing laminated, veneered, and composite panels where clean top and bottom edge quality is required. Its 1/2-inch diameter, 1-1/8-inch cutting edge, 0.400-inch upcut section, 1/2-inch shank, and 3-inch overall length support compact production-routing applications.
Two-flute compression geometry and right-hand rotation help control face chipping and maintain consistent routed dimensions when the tool is correctly held, positioned through the material, and operated within suitable machining parameters.
