Abstract
An insert includes a base. The base includes first and second surfaces, and a cutting edge on at least a part of a ridgeline of the first and second surfaces. The first surface includes a groove away from the ridgeline and at an angle θ1 of 20-90° relative to the ridgeline. The groove extends from a first end part closest to the cutting edge to a second end part most away from the cutting edge. The groove includes an opening and a bottom surface. An angle θ2 formed by the bottom surface and a raised surface extended from the bottom surface toward the first end part is 95-135°. A cutting tool includes a holder, which has a length extending from a first end to a second end and includes a pocket located on a side of the first end, and the insert located in the pocket.

An insert, comprising:
- a base comprising
- a first surface having
- a first corner defined by two adjacent edges of the first surface, and
- a plurality of grooves,
- a second surface connecting to the first surface, and
- a cutting edge located on at least a part of a ridgeline of the first surface and the second surface, wherein
- the plurality of grooves is located at a position away from the ridgeline and at an angle θ1 of 20-90° relative to the ridgeline,
- each of the plurality of grooves has a first end part being an end part closest to the cutting edge and a second end part being an end part most away from the cutting edge, and extends from the first end part to the second end part,
