A metal cutting insert is directly mounted on a support surface formed either by an insert holder, or by a shim interposed between the insert and insert holder. The insert includes a bottom surface having grooves and planar surface portions disposed between the grooves. The support surface includes ribs which fit into respective grooves of the insert. Some of the planar surface portions of the insert bear against a planar, rib-free portion of the support surface. |
