A parting/grooving insert and a method of grinding a parting/grooving insert including rotating a plane grinding surface having a normal vector parallel to the axis of rotation and a tangential direction of rotation; providing a parting/grooving insert including a rake surface, a main clearance surface, and a main cutting edge formed between the rake and main clearance surfaces; orienting/positioning the insert relative to the grinding surface, such that the main clearance surface is parallel to the grinding surface, the normal vector of the main cutting edge being in the plane of the main clearance surface and with a vector component in the direction of rotation forming an angle to the tangential direction of rotation at the insert of at least 20 degrees from parallel orientation; and grinding the main clearance surface to provide grinding marks having an angle to the normal vector of the main cutting edge corresponding to the angle to the tangential direction of rotation.
