Upcut Chip Evacuation
The upcut spiral moves chips upward and away from the cutting zone, supporting effective evacuation during compatible CNC wood-routing operations.


HW/carbide two-flute upcut chipbreaker finisher for general-purpose CNC routing in solid wood and wood composites. Its 3/8-inch cutting diameter, 1-1/8-inch cutting edge, 3/8-inch shank, and 3-inch overall length combine upward chip evacuation with chipbreaker geometry that helps reduce furring and tear-out.
Two-flute HW/carbide spiral tooling that combines upcut chip evacuation with chipbreaker geometry for general-purpose routing in solid wood and wood composites.
Designed for compatible CNC routers using precision 3/8-inch collets or approved 3/8-inch toolholding systems.
The Royce Ayr R60-31201 is a two-flute upcut chipbreaker finisher for general-purpose routing in solid wood and wood composites. The published configuration uses a 0.375-inch cutting diameter, 1.125-inch cutting edge, 0.375-inch shank, two flutes, and a 3.000-inch overall length.
Royce Ayr specifies the upcut spiral for good chip evacuation during compatible CNC routing. Integrated chipbreakers help interrupt chip formation and reduce furring and tear-out, supporting cleaner machining in solid wood and wood-composite materials.
The family is identified by Royce Ayr within its solid-carbide tooling range and carries the HW material designation in the manufacturer catalog. Because a current indexed exact-SKU product page for the base R60-31201 was not available in the verification sources used here, rotation and coating are intentionally not stated rather than inferred from adjacent or coated variants.
Technical Specifications
The upcut spiral moves chips upward and away from the cutting zone, supporting effective evacuation during compatible CNC wood-routing operations.
Royce Ayr specifies chipbreakers to help reduce furring and tear-out while the two-flute configuration provides a finishing-oriented cutting profile.
The 3/8-inch diameter, 1-1/8-inch cutting edge, 3/8-inch shank, and 3-inch overall length match the published R60-31201 specification.
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. Inspect the collet and nut, minimize unsupported projection, verify runout, secure the workpiece, and establish spindle speed, feed rate, pass depth, and extraction for the actual solid-wood or wood-composite material. Rotation and coating are intentionally omitted because they were not directly published for the exact base SKU in the verification sources used here.
Royce Ayr R60-31201 combines a 3/8-inch diameter, 1-1/8-inch cutting edge, 3/8-inch shank, two-flute upcut geometry, and 3-inch overall length for CNC routing in solid wood and wood composites.
The upcut spiral supports chip evacuation while the chipbreaker profile helps control furring and tear-out, giving this carbide tool a clear production role where routing efficiency and finish quality both matter.
