Abstract
A cutting tool has a rake face and a flank face. The flank face is provided with a coolant supply hole. A ridgeline between the rake face and the flank face forms a cutting edge. An outer shape of the coolant supply hole in a cross section orthogonal to an axis includes a first portion facing the cutting edge, and a second portion opposite to the cutting edge when viewed from the first portion. The first portion has a concave portion extending toward the second portion. The concave portion is defined by a first side portion and a second side portion facing each other, and a bottom continuous with both the first side portion and the second side portion. In the cross section, an angle formed by a tangent of the first side portion and a tangent of the second side portion is not more than 160°.
