Abstract
A round cutting insert has a seating surface with a plurality of projections formed on the seating surface proximate a central opening. The projections do not extend to an outer perimeter of the seating surface such that the outer perimeter is continuous and uninterrupted a full 360 degrees. An insert-receiving pocket includes a seating surface with a plurality of dimples for receiving the plurality of projections to prevent rotation of the cutting insert when mounted in the insert-receiving pocket. The plurality of dimples do not extend to an outer perimeter of the seating surface such that the outer perimeter is continuous and uninterrupted a full 360 degrees, thereby maximizing contact between the cutting insert and the pocket.
