Abstract
A cutting insert having a pentagonal prismatic shape. A cutting region is associated with each polygonal side and is elevated with respect to a central tangential abutment surface. A primary cutting edge associated with a polygonal side is formed at the intersection of a primary rake surface and a primary relief surface. A secondary cutting edge associated with a rounded corner is formed at the intersection of a secondary rake surface and a secondary relief surface and merges with the primary cutting edge. The primary relief surface forms with the associated side abutment surface a primary relief surface angle that varies from a maximal value adjacent an upper end of the primary cutting edge to a minimal value. The secondary relief surface forms with the associated rounded corner a secondary relief surface angle that varies from a maximal value adjacent the primary cutting edge to a minimal value.
