Abstract
A cutting tool may include a base body, a tip, a sensor, and a cover. The base body may have a shank portion extending in a first direction, a fixation portion, and a recess opening at an outside surface of the shank portion. The tip may be fixed to the fixation portion and may have a cutting edge. The sensor may be positioned inside the recess. The cover may close the recess. Among peripheral surfaces of the shank portion, a first area may face one side in a second direction that is a direction orthogonal to the first direction, and the cutting edge may be positioned further toward the one side in the second direction from the first area. The entirety of the cover may be positioned further toward the other side in the second direction from the cutting edge.

A cutting tool, comprising:
- a base body comprising:
- a shank portion extending in a first direction from a first end of the shank portion to a second end of the shank portion, the shank portion including
- a first outer side surface having a recess and extending from the first end to the second end, and
- a second outer side surface opposite to the first outer side surface in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, the second direction being from the second outer side surface toward the first outer side surface, and the second outer side surface extending from the first end to the second end, and
- a fixation portion positioned at the second end of the shank portion;
- a tip being fixed to the fixation portion and comprising a cutting edge;
- a sensor positioned inside the recess;
- a wireless communicator positioned inside the recess, and configured to transmit data measured by the sensor to an external device;
- a cover closing the recess;
- and
- a bonding member interposed between the cover and the base body, wherein
- the recess includes:
- a first recess at the first outer side surface and including a first bottom surface, and
- a second recess at the first bottom surface and including a second bottom surface positioned further inward than the first bottom surface in the second direction,
- the cutting edge is positioned outward with respect to the first outer side surface in the second direction,
- an entirety of the cover is positioned inward of the cutting edge in the second direction, and
- the bonding member is interposed between the cover and the second bottom surface.
