<p>A metal cutting insert (12) having a pair of cutting portions disposed on either side of a shank portion. Structure is formed on the metal cutting insert by which the insert is clamped to a tool holder which positions one of the cutting portions in a machining position. Each cutting portion includes a forward cutting edge (20) and two side cutting edges (22a, 22b). Each side cutting edge forms part of a shelf that includes chip controlling/breaking structure (50a, 50b, 50c). Each side cutting edge is defined by the juncture of a cutting surface with an upper boundary of a side face and the chip controlling structure includes a chip deflecting surface located adjacent the side cutting surface that includes a plurality of concave recesses that generate localized stiffening of a chip as it moves along the chip deflecting surface. The forward cutting edge performs cutting operations on a rotating workpiece in a radial direction.</p> |
