An indexable parting blade has opposite blade first and second sides, a blade peripheral edge, a central index axis, and at least first, second and third insert pockets located along the blade peripheral edge. The parting blade also has first, second and third coolant channels, each forming a coolant path from a corresponding inlet to a corresponding one of the insert pockets. Each coolant channel includes a rake outlet opening out to a rake side of its corresponding insert pocket and a relief outlet opening out to a relief side of that same insert pocket. The inlet corresponding to a given coolant channel is located further from that coolant channel's insert pocket than at least one of (a) the inlet corresponding to a different coolant channel, and (b) the central index axis.

A cutting insert in a non-limiting aspect of the present disclosure may include an upper surface, a lower surface, a lateral surface and a cutting edge. The upper surface may include a first corner and a first side. The upper surface may further include a rake surface, a bottom surface and a raised surface. The bottom surface may include a first bottom surface and a second bottom surface. The first bottom surface may be located on a bisector of the first corner. The second bottom surface may be located inwardly of the first side. The first bottom surface may be an inclined surface located closer to the lower surface as going away from the first corner. The second bottom surface may be an inclined surface located further away from the lower surface as going away from the first side.

There is provided a machining assembly and cutting insert for machining metal or like workpieces, wherein the cutting insert body has a cutting end. The cutting end comprises at least one cutting edge and at least one cutting lip formed adjacent the at least one cutting edge. The at least one cutting lip includes at least one cutting protrusion and associated chip cutting edge to split the chip formed by the at least one cutting edge, for producing chips during machining which are of a width that is sufficiently reduced to allow proper evacuation or removal.

An insert includes a main body extending from a first end toward a second end. The main body includes a cutting edge, a rake face, and a flute. In the rake face, a second rake angle of a second surface region positioned closer to the second end than a first surface region connected to the cutting edge is smaller than a first rake angle of the first surface region. A third rake angle of a third surface region is smaller than the second rake angle, the third surface region being adjacent to the flute rearward in a rotational direction and on an outer peripheral side of the main body.

A turning insert has two opposite main surfaces and a peripheral surface which extends therebetween and has N side surfaces, where 2<N<9. The insert has mirror symmetry about a mid-plane and 360/N degree rotational symmetry about a central axis perpendicular to the mid-plane. The insert has two main edges which each have N main cutting edges and N corner cutting edges. Each main cutting edge has two raised edge portions and a lowered edge portion. Each main surface has N main rake surfaces and N corner rake surfaces. Each main surface further has at least N convex island protrusions and N at least partially convex peninsula protrusions, any and all island protrusions associated with a given main rake surface being located between two adjacent peninsula protrusions, each pair of adjacent peninsula protrusions having at least one island protrusion located therebetween.

A cutting insert has a top surface, a seating surface, and an outer peripheral surface. The cutting edge includes a corner cutting edge portion, a first cutting edge portion, and a second cutting edge portion. The top surface includes a first rake face, a second rake face, a third rake face, a front side surface, an upper surface, a first side surface, and a second side surface. A ridgeline between the first side surface and the second side surface is continuous to the upper surface. When seen in a direction perpendicular to the seating surface, a width of a boundary between the front side surface and the third rake face is larger than a width of a boundary between the front side surface and the upper surface.

A cutting insert for a tool for machining a workpiece. The cutting insert comprises a rake face with a chip shaping geometry which is particularly suitable for machining titanium and titanium alloys. The chip shaping geometry is designed in such a way that the chip lifted from the workpiece is deformed comparatively strongly about its longitudinal axis. The chip shaping geometry is arranged at least in a rear area of the rake face, which is laterally bounded by a first concavely curved portion and a second concavely curved portion of the minor cutting edges of the cutting insert. The chip shaping geometry projects upwardly beyond a cutting plane in which the main cutting edge of the cutting insert and two rectilinear portions of the two minor cutting edges are arranged and comprises at least two elevations so that the rake face in the rear area in a further cross-section parallel to the main cutting edge comprises two high points and an intermediate second low point which has an equal third distance from the first concavely curved portion and the second concavely curved portion. A rake angle along the main cutting edge varies such that the rake angle γ1 at a center of the main cutting edge, which has an equal second distance from a first end and a second end of the main cutting edge, is greater than the rake angle in the area of the first and/or second ends.
