A milling insert

The invention concerns a milling insert, which comprises an upper side (1), an under side (2), and a clearance face (3) between the same. In the milling insert, there is included at least one cutting edge (5) that includes two main edges (6), which converge toward a nose edge (7). The cutting edge (5) is formed between two ground part surfaces situated on both sides of a cutting edge line, viz ., on one hand, a primary clearance surface (8), which is included in the clearance face (3) and is off-plane from a lower, secondary clearance surface (9), and, on the other hand, a peripheral chip surface (10), which is included in the upper side and situated on a higher level than a land (12) being inside, and which is narrower than the primary clearance surface (8) as well as has a width of at least 0,3 mm. The milling insert may advantageously be used in milling tools for gear hobbing.
