Top & Bottom Edge Control
Opposing upward and downward shearing action is engineered to help prevent chipping on both faces of laminated and veneered panels.


Three-flute, right-hand compression tooling for routing laminated or veneered wood and wood composites when clean top and bottom edges are critical. Its 3/8-inch cutting diameter, 1-1/8-inch cutting edge, 3/8-inch upcut section, 3/8-inch shank, and 3-inch overall length combine upward and downward shearing action for production CNC panel routing.
Three-flute compression geometry combines upward and downward shearing action to help prevent chipping on both faces of laminated, veneered, and wood-composite panels in compatible CNC routing applications.
Designed for compatible CNC routers using precision 3/8-inch collets or approved 3/8-inch toolholding systems in cabinet, casegoods, and panel-processing applications.
The Royce Ayr R60-11501 is a three-flute compression router bit for laminated or veneered wood and wood composites where top and bottom finish is critical. Opposing upward and downward shearing action is designed to reduce laminate chipping on both panel faces during compatible CNC routing operations.
The published configuration uses a 0.3750-inch cutting diameter, 1.125-inch cutting edge, 0.375-inch upcut length, 0.375-inch shank, three flutes, right-hand rotation, and a 3.000-inch overall length. The short upcut section supports chip-free dado routing when the tool is correctly engaged and matched to suitable feeds, speeds, workholding, and extraction.
Royce Ayr lists R60-11501 in its Solid Carbide Tooling / Triple-Flute Compression family with coating type None. The family is specified for CNC routers and cabinet and casegoods manufacturing. This standard SKU is distinct from the separate R60-11501UM Ultimax-coated variant.
Technical Specifications
Opposing upward and downward shearing action is engineered to help prevent chipping on both faces of laminated and veneered panels.
The published 0.375-inch upcut section provides the short lower cutting zone Royce Ayr specifies for chip-free dado routing in compatible panel materials.
Three cutting flutes combine with the compression profile in a production-oriented configuration for laminated, veneered, and composite panel routing.
Confirm that the CNC router toolholder accepts the exact 3/8-inch (9.525 mm) shank and provides suitable clearance for the 3-inch overall tool length. Program entry and cutting depth so the workpiece is engaged by the intended upcut and downcut zones; incorrect vertical engagement can compromise top or bottom edge quality. Inspect the collet and nut, minimize unsupported projection, verify runout, secure the panel, and establish spindle speed, feed rate, pass depth, and dust extraction for the actual laminate, veneer, and core construction.
Royce Ayr R60-11501 combines a 3/8-inch diameter, 1-1/8-inch cutting edge, 3/8-inch upcut section, 3/8-inch shank, three right-hand flutes, and 3-inch overall length for laminated, veneered, and wood-composite CNC panel routing.
The triple-flute compression geometry applies opposing shear directions to help protect top and bottom surfaces, while the short upcut section supports chip-free dado work when the tool is correctly engaged.
