Turning insert

A turning insert for longitudinal turning of metal work pieces, comprising:

• a top surface;
• a bottom surface;
• and
• a side surface connecting the top and bottom surfaces, wherein a midplane extends midway between and parallel to the top and bottom surfaces, intersections of the top surface and the side surface having a first, trailing, or minor cutting edge, a second, leading, or major cutting edge connected by a nose cutting edge at an acute angled cutting corner, the nose cutting edge being defined by a radius, and wherein the nose cutting edge slopes towards the midplane from the first, trailing, or minor cutting edge in direction towards the second, leading, or major cutting edge, wherein the top surface includes a chip forming space, wherein the chip forming space borders on the first, trailing, or the minor cutting edge, the second, leading, or the major cutting edge and the nose cutting edge, the chip forming space including a rake surface in the form of a depression, wherein the chip forming space includes a first rake surface adjacent to the first, trailing, or minor cutting edge, a second rake surface adjacent to the second, leading, or major cutting edge, and a third rake surface adjacent to the nose cutting edge, the chip forming space including a first upstanding wall facing the first, trailing, or minor cutting edge, a second upstanding wall facing the second, leading, or major cutting edge, and a third upstanding wall facing the nose cutting edge, wherein the third upstanding wall is located between and connecting the first and second upstanding walls.
