An improved cutting tool insert for an assembly comprising a tool holder having an engagement pocket, the cutting insert configured generally as a polyhedral cutting element and adapted to engage the pocket in the tool holder, and a clamping member adapted to retain the insert in the pocket. A planar clamp bearing surface is formed in the insert oblique to the longitudinal, horizontal, and vertical axes of the insert such that pressure exerted by the clamping member on the bearing surface causes the insert to seat in the pocket and be held in place thereby.
