Abstract: A cutting insert (30) and a clamping element (50) for clamping the cutting insert (30) in a pocket (16) of a cutting tool (10). The cutting insert (30) includes a polygonal body (31) a top surface (32) a bottom surface (34) a plurality of side surfaces (36) a rake surface (44) extending inwardly from a cutting edge (40) and a plurality of seating surfaces (46) adjacent the rake surface (44) that are separated by a groove (48). The clamping element (50) includes a rail member (60) protruding from a bottom surface (54) and extending at least partially from a side surface (56 58). The groove (48) of the cutting insert (30) is capable of receiving the rail member (60) of the clamping element (50) for clamping the cutting insert (30) in the pocket (16) of the cutting tool (10).
