The tool tip includes at least one major cutting edge formed at an intersection of a rake face and a first major flank. The rake face forms part of a chip flute. The coolant duct is configured to be in flow communication with discharge orifices located exclusively in the tool tip. The tool tip has an arrangement, such as a row of two or more discharge orifices located exclusively in the rake face of a major cutting edge. The arrangement extends at a non-zero angle relative to the rotational axis.
