Abstract: In a rough cutting cutter, square tips and rectangular tips are disposed in a staggered pattern in an axial direction in second to fourth step portions, so a cutting edge is formed by a pair of one of the square tips and one of the rectangular tips. It is therefore possible to effectively reduce a frequency of contact with a blade root. Furthermore, in the second to a fifth step portions, ARs (rake angles in the axial direction) and RRs (rake angles in a radial direction) of the square tips and the rectangular tips gradually increase in order from a tip end to a back end of a tool body. It is therefore possible to suppress chatter vibration during machining and is possible to reduce roughness of a cut surface of a work material.
