Abstract

The upper surface includes a first breaker projection face extending along the first side surface, a second breaker projection face extending along the second side surface, and a rake face located between the first breaker projection face and the second breaker projection face in top view. In a direction from the rear surface to the front surface, a first front end of the first breaker projection face is located ahead of a second front end of the second breaker projection face. A cutting edge has a first cutting edge portion and a second cutting edge portion. In a direction perpendicular to the reference surface, the second breaker projection face is lower than the first breaker projection face, and a boundary between the first cutting edge portion and the second cutting edge portion is lower than the second breaker projection face.
