A green body for a cross-hole, compacted cutting insert includes a first side, a second side, and a side surface extending between the first side and the second side entirely around the first side and the second side. The green body comprises a quadrilateral-shaped cross-hole extending through the green body from a first location on the side surface to a second location on the side surface on an opposite side of the green body from the first location. The quadrilateral-shape of the cross-hole can assist in achieving a more uniform density of compactable material in the green body. A cutting insert, equipment for making a green body, and a method for making a green body are also disclosed. |
