Rotating tool
A first main trajectory represents a trajectory of a first main cutting edge obtained by revolving and projecting the first main cutting edge onto a plane including a central axis. A second main trajectory represents a trajectory of the second main cutting edge obtained by revolving and projecting the second main cutting edge onto the plane. The first main trajectory intersects the second main trajectory. A tangent to the first main trajectory at an intersection between the first main trajectory and the second main trajectory is inclined to be closer to the central axis in a direction from the first surface toward the second surface. A tangent to the second main trajectory at the intersection is inclined to be closer to the central axis in a direction from the second surface toward the first surface.
