The invention relates to a cutting insert (1) which is constituted of a plurality of coherent individual cutting inserts (2) which are disposed one after the other. Said insert can be used one after the other using an intermediary weakened point and detaching the preceding individual cutting insert (2) which was previously used for cutting. According to the invention, the cutting insert (1) is configured as a blade and has a lower (13) and an upper contact surface (14) to be received in an elongate recess (5) having a lower (15) and an upper mating surface (16) in the tool base (4) of a burring tool or disk milling cutter.
