CUTTING TOOL

The present invention provides a cutting tool which has a flat top face but still has excellent chip control. The cutting tool includes: a peripheral side face; a top face which is a flat top face constituting a part of an upper surface that is depressed except for the portion of the top face; a cutting edge that is formed at least on a ridge line of a corner R connecting two linear ridge lines, out of ridge lines where the peripheral side face and top face cross; and a fan-shaped rake portion including ridge portions and groove portions, which are disposed alternately and are both depressed so as to be inclined from the corner R, where the crossing line with the top face appears in a wave form, toward a pivot portion which is a center of radial portions.
