Abstract
A cutting insert includes a top chip face, a bottom surface and side faces extending therebetween. At each of the end faces the cutting insert has axially protruding portions, each of which having a bevel. Main cutting edges are provided by the intersection between the top face and respective side surfaces. On each side surface there is provided a clearance portion formed on a protruding portion of the insert body which via a step extends into a secondary helically twisted clearance surface, the chip angle of which increases with increasing cutting depth. With the cutting insert viewed in plan, the bevel is oriented perpendicularly to the main cutting edge.
