Fine 1/16-Inch Cutting Diameter
The small cutting diameter supports narrow slots and detailed internal geometry that cannot be produced with larger general-purpose tools.


Solid-carbide, right-hand, two-flute downcut spiral router bit with a 9/32-inch cutting diameter, 1-inch cutting edge, 5/16-inch shank, and 2-1/2-inch overall length. Designed for fine general-purpose routing in solid wood, wood composites, some plastics, and laminated dado work.
A small-diameter HW solid-carbide tool combining two spiral cutting flutes with right-hand downcut geometry for fine routing in compatible CNC routers and precision routing systems.
Designed for compatible equipment using an exact 5/16-inch precision collet or approved toolholder. Small-diameter tooling requires minimal projection, low runout, conservative engagement, secure workholding, and verified cutting parameters.
The Royce Ayr 2-Flute General-Purpose Downcut Spiral Router Bit R57-22217 is a small-diameter general-purpose solid-carbide tool for detailed routing in solid wood, wood composites, and compatible plastics. Its 0.28125-inch cutting diameter, 1.000-inch cutting edge, 0.3125-inch shank, and 2.500-inch overall length support fine slots, narrow details, and compact internal geometry.
The two-flute downcut spiral directs axial cutting force toward the work surface. Royce Ayr identifies this family for general-purpose routing and notes that the downcut design can provide a clean edge when cutting a dado in laminated material, provided the spoilboard, chip evacuation, and workholding strategy suit the application.
Because the 9/32-inch cutting diameter is delicate, tool runout, projection, chip load, pass depth, ramping strategy, acceleration, heat, and recutting must be controlled carefully. The tool must be held in a clean, accurate 5/16-inch collet and operated within parameters appropriate for the material and machine.
Technical Specifications
The small cutting diameter supports narrow slots and detailed internal geometry that cannot be produced with larger general-purpose tools.
Two spiral cutting edges provide downcut action for controlled top-edge results in compatible wood, composite, plastic, and laminated-material applications.
The 5/16-inch shank and 2-1/2-inch overall length suit precision toolholding, while minimal runout and controlled engagement are critical for the delicate cutting diameter.
Confirm SKU R57-22217, the exact 5/16-inch shank, 2-1/2-inch overall length, safe clamping length, right-hand spindle rotation, collet condition, tool projection, spoilboard clearance, and workholding before installation. The 9/32-inch cutting diameter is delicate: verify low runout and establish conservative spindle speed, feed rate, ramping, entry, pass depth, acceleration, and chip-evacuation settings for the exact material and machine.
The Royce Ayr 2-Flute General-Purpose Downcut Spiral Router Bit R57-22217 provides a compact solid-carbide solution for fine routing with a 9/32-inch cutting diameter, 1-inch cutting edge, 5/16-inch shank, and 2-1/2-inch overall length.
Its two-flute downcut spiral supports narrow details and controlled top-edge machining when the tool is held concentrically and operated with parameters appropriate for its small cutting diameter.
