Abstract
An end mill includes: an end mill body configured to be rotatable around an axis; a chip discharge groove configured to extend from a tip in an axial direction of the end mill body toward a rear end side in the axial direction while twisting around the axis; and outer peripheral cutting edges each being configured to be formed at an intersection ridge portion on a forward side in a rotation direction between the chip discharge groove and an outer peripheral flank face. At least one outer peripheral cutting edge includes a plurality of notch portions that discontinue the outer peripheral cutting edge. Circumferential positions of all the notch portions in the end mill body do not overlap each other.
