Abstract

A cutting insert for mounting on edge in the insert pocket of a toolholder. The cutting insert has a mounting surface parallel to the top surface of the insert and a second mounting surface angled relative to the top surface of the insert so that the insert may be mounted in a toolholder having either of these two surfaces. An insert mounted in a toolholder having an angled bottom surface is secured within the insert pocket with a greater lateral force.
