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.
