BACKGROUND ART WO 2013/018764 (PTL 1) describes a cutting tool holder having a helical flute portion and a linear flute portion. The helical flute portion intersects a central axis of rotation at a certain angle when seen in a side view. CITATION LIST PATENT LITERATURE PTL 1: WO 2013/018764 SUMMARY OF INVENTION A drill according to the present disclosure rotates about a central axis, and includes a first cutting insert, a second cutting insert, and a body. The first cutting insert has a central edge. The second cutting insert has an outer peripheral edge. The first cutting insert and the second cutting insert are attached to the body. The body is provided with a first discharge flute and a second discharge flute. The first discharge flute discharges chips cut by the central edge. The second discharge flute discharges chips cut by the outer peripheral edge. When viewed along the central axis, a start point phase of the first discharge flute falls within a range of not less than +10° and not more than +90° with respect to the central edge, an end point phase of the first discharge flute falls within a range of not less than -40° and not more than 0° with respect to the central edge, a start point phase of the second discharge flute falls within a range of not less than +10° and not more than +90° with respect to the outer peripheral edge, and an end point phase of the second discharge flute falls within a range of not less than -40° and not more than 0° with respect to the outer peripheral edge. The first discharge flute includes a first front flute portion, and a first rear flute portion contiguous to the first front flute portion. The second discharge flute includes a second front flute portion, and a second rear flute portion contiguous to the second front flute portion. A helix angle of the first front flute portion monotonously decreases toward the first rear flute portion. A helix angle of the second front flute portion monotonously decreases toward the second rear flute portion. A helix angle of each of the first rear flute portion and the second rear flute portion is 0°. At a boundary between the first front flute portion and the first rear flute portion, values each calculated by dividing an amount of change in the helix angle of the first discharge flute by an amount of change in position in a direction along the central axis are continuous. At a boundary between the second front flute portion and the second rear flute portion, values each calculated by dividing an amount of change in the helix angle of the second discharge flute by an amount of change in position in the direction along the central axis are continuous. The body is provided with a first pocket portion that is contiguous to the first discharge flute and that is located forward with respect to a rotational direction of the first cutting insert. In the direction along the central axis, a distance from a front end of the first cutting insert to a rear end of the first pocket portion is greater than or equal to 1.5 times a tool diameter.
