A cutting insert for a metalworking operation includes a polygonal body of hard wear resistant material. The body has a top surface and a bottom surface, and therebetween a peripheral wall including adjacent first and second wall portions. The intersection of the first wall portion and the top surface forms a first cutting edge, and the intersection of the second wall portion and the top surface forms a second cutting edge. The first cutting edge and the second cutting edge meet to form a high point which is adapted to engage a workpiece first during the metalworking operation. In one embodiment, the top surface of the cutting insert has a topography that promotes chip control. The topography includes a plain adjacent to the cutting edges, and a plateau on the plain, which is, located inward from the cutting edges. The plateau is elevated relative to the plain and has a sloped side.
