Abstract

A turning insert includes a top surface, a bottom surface, and side surfaces connecting the top and bottom surfaces. A reference plane is located parallel to and between the top surface and the bottom surface. A center axis intersects and extends perpendicular to the reference plane. Three nose portions are formed symmetrically around the center axis. Each nose portion has a first cutting edge, a second cutting edge and a convex nose cutting edge connecting the first and second cutting edges. As seen in in a top view, the first and second cutting edges on the same nose portion form a nose angle of 25-50°. The first cutting edge includes a first sub-portion and a second sub-portion. A distance from the nose cutting edge to the first sub-portion is shorter than a distance from the nose cutting edge to the second sub-portion.
