Abstract
A cutting tool including a cutter head and a holder. One of the cutter head and the holder has a recess formed in its axial end portion and defined by its circumferential wall. The other of the cutter head and the holder has a protrusion formed in its axial end portion, such that the cutter head and the holder are detachably attached to each other, with the protrusion being introduced in the recess by an axial distance. The above-described one has coaxial holes formed in the circumferential wall. The above-described other has an engaging surface which is recessed from an outer circumferential surface of the protrusion and which is held in engagement with a pin that is received in the coaxial holes. Each of the coaxial holes has an axis which is inclined, with respect to a plane perpendicular to an axis of the above-described one, in a direction causing the above-described axial distance to be increased by a cutting resistance generated in a cutting operation.
