A cutting insert includes an upper, lower and side surfaces and at least one cutting edge formed at an intersection of the upper surface with the side surface. A rake face of the insert is formed with one or more undulated chip forming grooves extending along the cutting edge and comprising a succession of alternating depressed and raised portions. Each depressed and raised portion is radially aligned with a central axis of the insert along the entire width of the chip forming groove. |
