A ball nose end mill insert includes an insert body having an axial center axis, two opposed substantially flat insert side surfaces, and a peripheral surface joining the two insert side surfaces. The peripheral surface includes two arcuate surfaces at a first axially forward end of the insert and an insert support surface at a second axially rearward end of the insert. The arcuate surfaces extend axially rearward from an axial center area of the first axially forward end and are positioned symmetrically on opposite sides in relation to the axial center area. Peripheral side surfaces adjoin the arcuate surfaces. An insert through hole intersects the insert side surfaces. The insert support surface has an axial insert support surface having surface portions on opposite sides of the axial center axis and a radial insert support surface. The axial and the radial insert support surfaces together form an acute angle.
