Coated cutting tool

A coated cutting tool comprising a substrate and a coating layer formed on a surface of the substrate, wherein:

• the coating layer comprises at least one α-type aluminum oxide layer;
• an average particle size of the α-type aluminum oxide layer is from 0.1 μm or more to 3.0 μm or less;
• and
• in the α-type aluminum oxide layer, a texture coefficient TC (0,0,12) of a (0,0,12) plane represented by formula (1) below is from 4.0 or more to 8.4 or less, and a texture coefficient TC (1,0,10) of a (1,0,10) plane represented by formula (2) below is from 0.4 or more to 3.0 or less,

• In formulae (1) and (2), I (h,k,l) denotes a peak intensity for an (h,k,l) plane in X-ray diffraction of the α-type aluminum oxide layer, I0 (h,k,l) denotes a standard diffraction intensity for an (h,k,l) plane which is indicated on JCPDS Card No. 10-0173 for α-type aluminum oxide, and (h,k,l) refers to the nine crystal planes of (0,1,2), (1,0,4), (1,1,0), (1,1,3), (1,1,6), (2,1,4), (3,0,0), (1,0,10) and (0,0,12).
