The present invention relates to a thread cutting insert (10) for use with an indexable tool. The insert (10) is a triangular, flat wafer of cutting material comprising three countersunk cutting corners (11), each having a chamfered part (12) provided with a cutting tip (13). The upper side of the cutting tip (13) is provided with a recess (22) which gives the insert (10) a positive cutting geometry. A flat upstanding area (23) is arranged radially inside the cutting tip (13) to finally shape the chip after it has been preformed at the recess (22). |
