A coated cutting insert for use in a chip-forming material removal operation wherein the coated cutting insert includes a substrate that has a flank surface and a rake surface and the flank surface intersects the rake surface to form a cutting edge at the intersection. There is a wear-resistant coating scheme that adheres to at least a portion of the substrate. The wear-resistant coating scheme includes one or more coating layers of one or more of alumina, hafnia and zirconia. There is a wear indicating coating that adheres to at least a portion of the wear-resistant coating scheme. The wear indicating coating includes M(OxCyNz) wherein M is selected from the group comprising one or more of the following titanium, hafnium, zirconium, chromium, titanium-aluminum alloy, hafnium-aluminum alloy, zirconium-aluminum alloy, chromium-aluminum alloy, and their alloys, and x>0, y>=0, z>=0 and y+z>0. A method of making a cutting insert with wear indicating including the steps of: providing a substrate with an outer alumina coating layer; applying an as-deposited non-wear indicating coating layer to the alumina coating layer; and treating the non-wear indicating coating layer to convert it to a wear indicating coating layer.
