Cutting insert with chip control

A cutting insert with chip control features comprising an insert body having

• a) first and second generally parallel sides;
• b) peripheral walls between and generally perpendicular to said sides with at least one pair of adjacent peripheral walls forming an included angle of 90 degrees or less with one another;
• c) at least one cutting edge region, each region having a predetermined width and located at a juncture of a pair of adjacent peripheral walls forming an included angle of 90 degrees or less with each other, each cutting edge region comprising
• i) a cutting edge at the juncture of the pair of adjacent peripheral walls;
• ii) a land extending rearwardly along one of the pair of adjacent peripheral walls from the cutting edge and defining a width;
• iii) a descending wall having a forward portion and opposed side portions, initiating in the land and terminating in a floor having a forward, a rearward and opposed side edges wherein said descending wall terminates at said floor's forward and opposed side edges;
• iv) a back ramp ascending from said floor rearward edge, intersecting said descending wall opposed side portions and terminating at said land thereby defining a cavity;
• v) a pair of side ramps initiating at the land and extending up and back to a peripheral wall, each side ramp further extending diagonally from the cutting edge region to the outermost width of the insert body;
• and
• vi) a pair of longitudinal projections protruding from the land and located on each side of the cavity extending rearwardly to each of the side ramps;
• wherein said insert body is adapted for mounting in a holder with one cutting edge positioned in the holder for cutting operations.
