A turning tool comprising:

• a tool body;
• a turning insert symmetrically or substantially symmetrically arranged around a center axis;
• and
• an insert seat in which the turning insert is mounted, a longitudinal axis extends from a rear end to a forward end of the turning tool, wherein the insert seat includes a bottom surface and a side surface, the side surface having a first surface and a second surface, wherein the first and second surface form an angle relative to each other, the turning insert including a top surface, an opposite bottom surface, and a side surface connecting the top and bottom surfaces, the bottom surface of the turning insert being in contact with the bottom surface of the insert seat, wherein the first surface includes a contact surface, and wherein said contact surface is in contact with a portion of the side surface of the turning insert, the tool body including a coolant channel, the coolant channel extending between a coolant channel inlet and a coolant channel outlet, the channel outlet being spaced apart further from the center axis than the side surface of the turning insert, and wherein the coolant channel outlet opens into a void between the side surface of the turning insert and the first surface of the side surface of the insert seat.
