Abstract

A drilling tool including a substantially columnar tool body rotatable about an axis, the tool body having a chip discharge groove formed in the outer periphery thereof opened at a distal end surface of the tool body; and a cutting edge having a rake face and extending from an end adjacent to the axis toward the outer periphery of the tool provided along a crossing ridge between a wall surface of the chip discharge groove facing in a circumferential direction of the tool and the distal end face. In the drilling tool, a concave surface rises in the circumferential direction of the tool with respect to the rake face of the cutting edge, the concave surface forming a concave curve advancing toward the distal end face of the tool in the circumferential direction of the tool, the concave surface being formed between the crossing ridge and the distal end face.
