| (54) | Rotational cutting tool |
| (57) A rotational cutting tool 10 includes a plurality of unit cutting tools 11A to 11C
including rotational bodies 12A to 12C each in a cylindrical shape and formed with
attachment grooves 25 twisted relative to an axial direction and extending between
opposite ends at plural locations in a circumferential direction on an outer peripheral
surface of the rotational body, and flat plate-like replaceable blades 31 slidably
mounted to the attachment grooves 25, the unit cutting tools 11A to 11C coaxially
overlapped to one another in such a manner that the attachment grooves 25 of the unit
cutting tools adjacent to each other are not overlapped to each other in the direction
along which the attachment grooves 25 are extending. Between opposite ends in an axial
direction on an outer peripheral surface of at least one of a pair of the unit cutting
tools adjacent to each other, replacement grooves 51 that are capable of receiving
the replaceable blades 31 are formed as extensions from the attachment grooves 25
of the other unit cutting tool.
