Abstract

A cutting insert may include a first surface, a second surface and a third surface. The first surface may include a corner having a convex curvilinear shape and an inclined surface. The inclined surface may include a first inclined surface, a second inclined surface and a third inclined surface. The first inclined surface may be inclined at a first angle. The second inclined surface may be inclined at a second angle. The third inclined surface may be inclined at a third angle. The first inclined surface may have a concave curvilinear shape in a cross section orthogonal to a bisector of the corner. The second inclined surface may be a flat surface. The second angle may be smaller than either of the first angle and the third angle in a cross section which includes the bisector and is orthogonal to the reference plane.
