Abstract
A cutting insert includes a body having three vertices, an upper face, a lower face, and six planar flank faces perpendicular to and joining the upper and lower faces. A cutting edge is formed at an intersection between the upper and lower faces and each of the planar flank faces. A triangular-shaped island surrounds a central axis, A, of the cutting insert and is higher in elevation than the upper and lower faces. A tool holder includes a tool holder body having a generally triangular-shaped insert-receiving pocket with a triangular-shaped recess that is substantially identical in shape to the triangular-shaped island of the cutting insert that interacts with the island to properly locate and prevent rotation of the cutting insert when mounted in the tool holder.
