Abstract

A head replaceable cutting tool having a structure that can limit a machining cost when a clearance portion is formed in a portion at which a head is attached and detached, and also limit deformation of a shank is provided. The head replaceable cutting tool includes: a projection portion or a hole portion for attachment and detachment disposed in a head; a shank to which the head is attachable; a hole portion, to which the projection portion is removably attachable along a central axis, or a projection portion disposed in an end portion of the shank; a fastening member that presses the projection portion toward an inner circumference surface of the hole portion; and a fastened portion disposed in the shank to fasten the fastening member. The hole portion has a transverse cross-sectional shape that is a substantially circular shape having a curvature radius R1, and the projection portion has a transverse cross-sectional shape including a contact portion at which an outer circumference surface of the projection portion is in contact with the inner circumference surface of the hole portion and a clearance portion that is formed in a part of the outer circumference surface so as to deviate radially inward from a virtual circle corresponding to the inner circumference surface and does not come into contact with the inner circumference surface.
