The inner and outer inserts are arranged so that the cutting area to be cut by the outer insert alone is partially cut by a cutting edge portion of the inner insert near its corner, and the cutting area which to be cut by the inner insert alone is partially cut by the crest of one cutting edge of the outer insert.
