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


Two-flute right-hand upcut chipbreaker finisher for general-purpose CNC routing in solid wood and wood composites. Its 1/2-inch cutting diameter, 1-5/8-inch cutting edge, 1/2-inch shank, and 3-1/2-inch overall length combine upward chip evacuation with chipbreaker geometry that helps reduce furring and tear-out.
Two-flute carbide spiral tooling with right-hand rotation, upcut chip evacuation, and chipbreaker geometry for general-purpose routing in solid wood and wood composites.
Designed for compatible CNC routers using precision 1/2-inch collets or approved 1/2-inch toolholding systems.
The Royce Ayr R60-31203 is a two-flute upcut chipbreaker finisher for general-purpose routing in solid wood and wood composites. The exact published configuration is 0.5000-inch cutting diameter, 1.625-inch cutting edge, 0.500-inch shank, two flutes, right-hand rotation, and 3.500-inch overall length.
Royce Ayr specifies the upcut spiral for good chip evacuation during CNC routing. Integrated chipbreakers help interrupt chips and reduce furring and tear-out, supporting cleaner machining in compatible solid-wood and wood-composite applications.
The manufacturer identifies the cutting material as HW and the coating as None. The 1/2-inch shank and 3-1/2-inch overall length provide a practical production format for profiling, routing, slotting, and edge-machining operations when correct toolholding, feed rate, spindle speed, pass depth, and extraction are maintained.
Technical Specifications
The upcut spiral moves chips upward and away from the cutting zone, supporting effective evacuation during compatible CNC 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 1/2-inch diameter, 1-5/8-inch cutting edge, 1/2-inch shank, and 3-1/2-inch overall length match the exact R60-31203 specification.
Confirm that the CNC router toolholder accepts the exact 1/2-inch (12.70 mm) shank and provides suitable clearance for the 3-1/2-inch overall tool length. Verify right-hand spindle rotation, inspect the collet and nut, minimize unsupported projection, check runout, secure the workpiece, and establish spindle speed, feed rate, pass depth, and extraction for the actual solid-wood or wood-composite material.
Royce Ayr R60-31203 combines a 1/2-inch diameter, 1-5/8-inch cutting edge, 1/2-inch shank, two-flute right-hand upcut geometry, and 3-1/2-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 HW/carbide tool a clear production role where routing efficiency and finish quality both matter.
