Abstract
In the ball end mill, at least two end cutting edges are extended to the vicinity of an axis at a tip portion of an end mill main body which rotates around the axis. In two gashes in which two end cutting edges adjacent to each other in a circumferential direction are formed, a first gash on the end mill rotation direction side extends beyond the axis on the tip of the end mill main body and a second gash on the rear side in the end mill rotation direction does not exceed the axis. A first tip flank face which intersects with the first gash through a first end cutting edge is extended toward a second tip flank face which intersects with the second gash through a second end cutting edge.
