Royce Ayr Straight Flute Wood & Plastic CNC Router Bit 5/16 in (7.94 mm)
2-Flute Straight-Flute
Router Bit
Solid-carbide straight-flute CNC router bit designed for general-purpose routing in solid wood and hard plastic. Its 5/16-inch cutting diameter, 1-1/8-inch cutting edge, 1/2-inch shank, and 3-inch overall length provide a rigid configuration for controlled routing, trimming, slotting, and profiling.
Main Product Description
The Royce Ayr 2-Flute Straight-Flute General Wood and Plastic Router Bit R56-31111 is designed for general-purpose CNC routing in solid wood and hard plastic. Its 0.3125-inch cutting diameter and 1.125-inch cutting edge support controlled trimming, slotting, profiling, and routing operations where straight-flute geometry is preferred.
Two straight cutting flutes provide neutral axial cutting action compared with upcut or downcut spiral designs. The 0.500-inch shank provides a rigid machine interface for compatible CNC router setups, helping control tool deflection and support dimensional consistency during production machining.
This uncoated HW solid-carbide tool uses right-hand rotation and has a 3.000-inch overall length. Correct collet condition, minimum practical projection, verified runout, suitable spindle speed, feed rate, depth-per-pass, chip evacuation, and workholding are essential for maintaining finish quality and tool life.
Best Fit Applications
Product Highlights
Controlled 5/16-Inch Cut
The 5/16-inch cutting diameter and 1-1/8-inch cutting edge support controlled grooves, profiles, and general routing passes.
Rigid 1/2-Inch Shank
The larger shank interface supports secure collet engagement and reduced deflection in compatible CNC router systems.
Wood & Hard-Plastic Use
The straight-flute solid-carbide geometry is specified for general-purpose routing in solid wood and hard plastic.
Compatibility & Installation Notes
Confirm that the spindle and toolholder accept an exact 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) shank and that right-hand rotation matches the programmed cutting direction. Inspect and clean the collet, collet nut, and tool shank, minimize unsupported projection, verify runout, and establish suitable spindle speed, feed rate, and depth-per-pass for the selected wood or hard-plastic material.
Improve General-Purpose Routing Control
The Royce Ayr 2-Flute Straight-Flute General Wood and Plastic Router Bit R56-31111 provides a rigid solid-carbide solution for CNC routing in solid wood and hard plastic.
Its 5/16-inch diameter, 1-1/8-inch cutting edge, 1/2-inch shank, two straight flutes, and 3-inch overall length support controlled production machining when correctly held and operated within suitable cutting parameters.
