Abstract
A cutting tool may have a columnar shape extended along a rotation axis from a first end toward a second end, and may include a holder, a first insert and a second insert. The holder may include a first pocket, a second pocket, a first flute and a second flute. The second pocket may be located closer to the second end than the first pocket. The first flute may be extended along the first pocket. The second flute may be extended along the second pocket. A first length from the rotation axis to the first flute may be smaller than a second length from the rotation axis to the second flute. An opening width of the first flute may be smaller than an opening width of the second flute.

A cutting tool, having a columnar shape extended along a rotation axis from a first end toward a second end, the cutting tool comprising:
- a holder comprising:
- a first pocket located on a side of the first end,
- a second pocket located closer to the second end than the first pocket,
- a first flute extended along the first pocket from the first end toward the second end, and
- a second flute extended along the second pocket toward the second end;
- a first insert located in the first pocket;
- and
- a second insert located in the second pocket, wherein:
- a first distance from the rotation axis to the first flute in a first cross section that is orthogonal to the rotation axis and includes the first flute is a first length,
- a second distance from the rotation axis to the second flute in a second cross section that is orthogonal to the rotation axis and includes the second flute is a second length, wherein the first length is smaller than the second length,
- an opening width of the first flute in the first cross section is a first opening width,
- an opening width of the second flute in the second cross section is a second opening width, wherein the first opening width is smaller than the second opening width, and
- a flute depth of the first flute is larger than a flute depth of the second flute, wherein the flute depth of the first flute is defined as a radial distance of an outer circumference of the holder in the first cross section minus the first length, and the flute depth of the second flute is defined as a radial distance of the outer circumference of the holder in the second cross section minus the second length.
A cutting tool, having a columnar shape extended along a rotation axis from a first end toward a second end, the cutting tool comprising:
- a holder comprising:
- a first pocket located on a side of the first end,
- a second pocket located closer to the second end than the first pocket,
- a first flute extended along the first pocket from the first end toward the second end;
- and
- a second flute extended along the second pocket toward the second end;
- a first insert located in the first pocket;
- and
- a second insert located in the second pocket,
- wherein:
- a first distance from the rotation axis to the first flute in a first cross section that is orthogonal to the rotation axis and includes the first flute is a first length,
- a second distance from the rotation axis to the second flute in a second cross section that is orthogonal to the rotation axis and includes the second flute is a second length,
- an opening width of the first flute in the first cross section, that is orthogonal to the rotation axis and includes the first flute, is a first opening width,
- an opening width of the second flute in the second cross section, that is orthogonal to the rotation axis and includes the second flute, is a second opening width, wherein the first opening width is smaller than the second opening width, and
- a flute depth of the first flute is larger than a flute depth of the second flute, wherein the flute depth of the first flute is defined as a radial distance of an outer circumference of the holder in the first cross section minus the first length, and the flute depth of the second flute is defined as a radial distance of the outer circumference of the holder in the second cross section minus the second length.
