A turning insert, preferably for internal machining, includes a polygonal body of hard wear resistant material, which has an upper surface and a lower surface provided in separate substantially parallel planes and a number of side surfaces each interconnecting the upper and lower surfaces. A first side surface is a leading edge surface, and a second side surface is a trailing edge surface during machining. At least one chip former is provided. At least one rounded cutting corner having cutting edges is formed at an intersection of the two side surfaces. The cutting corner defines a bisector plane. The chip former is asymmetrically arranged relative to the bisector plane. The chip former has a surface that is provided in the plane of the upper surface. The surface is provided at substantially one side of the bisector plane and the convex portion of the chip former has a lower edge intersected by the bisector plane at least twice.
