Abstract: The present invention provides a cutting tool which comprises a cutting tool insert with a tip portion of cBN material having a cutting edge formed therein and a base portion forming a sintered composition with the tip portion, and a body portion coupling the cutting tool insert with a shank of the cutting tool, wherein the cutting tool insert has a rake face and a first flank face defining the cutting edge. The rake face has a negative rake angle relative to an axis parallel to a center axis of the body portion. A second flank face defining a further edge with the first flank face is formed such that the cutting edge and the further edge do not have a common vertex. The second flank face is tilted with respect to an axis parallel to a center axis of the body portion by an angle greater than 0°.
