A cutting insert includes a top surface, an edge surface and a cutting edge between the top and edge surfaces. The cutting edge is symmetrical about a centerline. The cutting edge has a first edge radius at a first point at the centerline of the cutting edge and a different, second edge radius at second points on opposite sides of and remote from the centerline of the cutting edge. The first edge radius is larger than the second edge radius. The top surface includes a land surface between the cutting edge and a remaining portion of the top surface. The land surface defines a surface that is distinct from the remaining portion of the top surface. A width of the land surface behind the cutting edge at the first point at the center of the cutting edge is different than the width of the land surface behind the second points.

A negative insert for cutting machining has a top side, a clearance side perpendicular thereto and a cutting edge in a region interconnecting these sides and extending substantially in parallel with these sides. The insert has further a flat or rounded chamfer connecting the cutting edge to the clearance side on at least one lateral side of the insert in the region of a corner thereof. The chamfer makes an angle of 1&#xb0;-15&#xb0; with the clearance side for enabling application of the chamfer substantially tangentially to a work piece to be machined for bearing of the insert in two dimensions against the work piece during cutting machining operation carried out by the insert.
