Extending around the elevated corner nose area and along an adjacent side face of the cutting insert is a cutting edge. The elevated corner nose area includes an angled chamfer that intersects with the cutting edge and a flat surface disposed inwardly of the angled chamfer. A pair of tapered lands extend from the flat surface toward a respective side face of the cutting insert where each of the tapered lands intersect with the cutting edge.
