A cutting tool for turning includes a cutting insert having a cutting edge, a holder for holding the cutting insert, a wireless communication unit for transmitting information based on a measurement result of a sensor attached to the cutting tool, an acceleration sensor installed in the holder, and a control unit for performing first control for controlling activation of the wireless communication unit based on the measurement result of the acceleration sensor.

An anomaly detection system includes: a sensor provided to a tool, the sensor being configured to measure a physical quantity, of the tool, that varies while a machine tool is machining a machining target object by means of the tool; and an anomaly detection device configured to detect an anomaly in the tool, based on measurement data obtained by the sensor. The anomaly detection device includes: a synchronization unit configured to achieve synchronization between target data being measurement data in time series obtained by the sensor, and reference data being a measurement result in time series of the physical quantity when the tool is in a normal state; a distance calculation unit configured to calculate a distance between the reference data and the target data; and an anomaly detection unit configured to detect an anomaly in the tool by comparing the distance with a threshold.
