A turning insert includes a head portion connected to a stem portion. A CBN cutting edge includes a surface generating cutting edge and two major cutting edge portions, such that each major cutting edge portion forms an angle of 5-20° in relation to a tangent line of the cutting edge at a forward point of the cutting edge.

A cutting insert of an embodiment includes a cutting edge located at an intersecting part of an upper surface and a side surface. The cutting edge includes a corner cutting edge, a major cutting edge, and a flat cutting edge. The upper surface includes a first land surface located along the corner cutting edge, a second land surface located along the major cutting edge, and a third land surface located along the flat cutting edge. A maximum value of a width of the third land surface is smaller than a maximum value of a width of each of the first land surface and the second land surface in a top view.

A double-sided, polygonal cutting insert includes a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. A plurality of side surfaces extend between the first surface and the second surface. A plurality of primary concave cutting edges are formed at an intersection between the plurality of side surfaces and the first and second surfaces, and a plurality of convex wiper edges are formed at an intersection between the plurality of side surfaces and the first and second surfaces. Each wiper edge has a step extending radially outward from a respective side surface. The cutting insert is mounted in a cutting tool such that the primary cutting edge and a wiper edge contact a workpiece to produce a high-quality surface finish on the workpiece.

Drilling tool systems including a drilling body and a drilling inserts are disclosed. The drilling inserts include four indexable cutting edges. The four cutting edges may each comprise a plurality of cutting edge segments and a wiper edge. The plurality of cutting edge segments and the wiper edge are provided at distinct angles to provide effective chip breaking and a stronger cutting edge at the drilling insert corners. Furthermore, the side surfaces of the drilling inserts allow the drilling insert to be more stably supported in a pocket of the drilling body. The drilling inserts may be used in a peripheral pocket of a drilling 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 turning insert arranged for longitudinal turning of metal work pieces includes a nose cutting edge that slopes from a trailing cutting edge in direction towards a leading cutting edge. A turning tool is also disclosed.

A double-sided, polygonal cutting insert includes a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface.
