<p>Provided is a coated cutting tool and a method for producing the same. A coated cutting tool comprising a base material having a surface coated with a coating film, wherein the coating film comprises at least one layer comprised of a TiCN columnar crystal film, wherein the TiCN columnar crystal film has an average grain size of 0.05 to 0.5 µm, as measured in the direction parallel to the surface of the base material, and exhibits an X-ray diffraction pattern having a peak at a diffraction angle 2¸ in the range of from 121.5 to 122.6° wherein the peak is ascribed to the (422) crystal facet of the TiCN columnar crystal as measured using CuK± radiation.</p> |
