## Abstract

A cutting insert includes a leading cutting edge having a rake angle in the range of 20° to 35° in a central region in a width direction; and a rake face having a breaker groove formed in the central region in the width direction and land portions formed in both end regions in the width direction. The land portions have a rake angle smaller than the rake angle in the central region in the width direction. The breaker groove includes opposing side faces separated from each other by a distance that decreases with increasing distance from the leading cutting edge and four shoulder portions of the same height that are formed on the opposing side faces at positions above the land portions, two of the shoulder portions being closer to the leading cutting edge and to outer sides in the width direction than the other two shoulder portions are.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A cutting insert for cutting off or grooving, comprising:
a leading cutting edge having a rake angle in the range of 20° to 35° in a central region of the cutting insert in a width direction; and
a rake face having a breaker groove formed in the central region and land portions, the land portions being formed with the breaker groove therebetween in the width direction,
wherein the land portions have a rake angle smaller than the rake angle in the central region of the cutting insert in the width direction, and
wherein the breaker groove includes opposing side faces separated from each other by a distance that decreases with increasing distance from the leading cutting edge and four shoulder portions of the same height that are formed on the opposing side faces at positions above the land portions, two of the shoulder portions being closer to the leading cutting edge and to outer sides in the width direction than the other two shoulder portions are.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The cutting insert according to claim 1, wherein, in plan view of the insert, an inclination angle of the opposing side faces with respect to the leading cutting edge is in the range 5° to 13°, a distance between the two shoulder portions that are closer to the leading cutting edge is in the range 45% to 55% of an edge width, and a distance between the remaining two shoulder portions is in the range 15% to 25% of the edge width.
