Abstract
A rotary tool may include a holder and a cutting insert. The cutting insert may include an upper surface including a first upper side, a lower surface including a first lower side, and a lateral surface. The lateral surface may include a first lateral surface, a second lateral surface, and a third lateral surface. The first upper side may include a first end. The first end may be located closer to the third lateral surface than the second lateral surface. The first lower side may include a second end. The second end may be located closer to the second lateral surface than the third lateral surface. In a front view of the upper surface, the first lateral surface may include a tip region surrounded by the first end and the second end, and the tip region may be recessed toward the rear end.
