Multiple grooves (27) are formed and in each of said grooves, multiple insert seats (28) are formed and cutting inserts (30) are detachably disposed. The cutting inserts (30) have main cutting edges (34), corner cutting edges, and auxiliary cutting edges (35), and the main cutting edges (34) are formed with a wave form when viewed from the direction of the cutting face. The cutting inserts (30) are disposed so that in the rotation tracks formed by the main cutting edges (34) of the respective cutting inserts (30) when the roughing cutter (10) is rotated around the rotation center axis (O), the wave phases of the rotation tracks formed by adjacent cutting inserts (30) in a single groove (27) in the direction along the rotation center axis (O) coincide, and at least some of the cutting inserts (30) are disposed so that the rotation tracks formed by some of the cutting edge portions overlap each other in the rotation center axis (O) direction. As a result, even when said cutting edge portions are used as a main cutting edge portion and as an inner blade, cutting load is reduced and damage is limited.
