A metal cutting insert () having a pair of cutting portions () disposed on either end of a shank portion (), each cutting portion having a front clearance face (), the upper boundary of which defines a cutting edge (). A pair of spaced apart chip breaking surfaces () commence at or near the cutting edge and extend away from the cutting edge. A pair of secondary chip breaking surfaces () are located downstream of the first chip breaking surfaces and are interconnected with associated first chip breaking surfaces by transition surfaces. A center channel () is located between the chip breaking surfaces and includes an entry portion (). A tool holder () includes a base () and clamping arm () which together define a gap () for receiving one of the cutting portions of the insert.
