Don't use triangle inserts to make a dovetail cutter. Triangle inserts like these TCMT 110202 have two issues:
1/ being 60°, they always engage, or at least rub on the bottom, sliding the insert along it's rear guiding edge.
2/ there is only one edge to locate the insert in it's pocket, and that is not rigid enough.
