The present invention relates to a cutting insert for a milling cutter. The cutting insert includes a main body having a top face and at least one elevated corner nose area formed on the top face. Extending around the elevated corner nose area and along an adjacent side face of the cutting insert is a cutting edge. The elevated corner nose area includes an angled chamfer that intersects with the cutting edge and a flat surface disposed inwardly of the angled chamfer. A pair of tapered lands extend from the flat surface toward a respective side face of the cutting insert where each of the tapered lands intersect with the cutting edge.
