Abstract
A minor cutting edge in a cutting insert of one aspect has a protruding curved shape protruding upward in a side view and includes: a first portion including an apex portion protruding most upward in the minor cutting edge; a second portion located between the first portion and a connection edge; and a third portion located between the second portion and the connection edge. Each of the second portion and the third portion comes close to a lower surface with distance from the first portion. In the side view, a radius of curvature of the second portion is larger than a radius of curvature of the first portion and a radius of curvature of the third portion.
