Cutting insert for a milling cutter and milling cutter

A milling cutter comprising:

• a tool body which is rotatable about an axis of rotation, the tool body defining at least one recess for receiving a cutting insert;
• at least one cutting insert disposed in the at least one recess, the cutting insert comprising:
• a first main surface;
• a second main surface opposite the first main surface, the second main surface comprising a cutting surface;
• and
• a lateral surface which connects the first main surface to the second main surface, the lateral surface comprising a free surface and at least one clamping section;
• and
• at least one clamping element fastened to the tool body which engages the at least one clamping section of the at least one cutting insert,
• wherein the at least one clamping element is arm-shaped;
• wherein the at least one clamping element clamps the at least one cutting insert by force-actuation;
• wherein the lateral surface is formed by at least two side surfaces;
• and
• wherein each of the side surfaces comprises two clamping sections at opposite ends thereof, forming a generally H-shaped surface on the side surfaces in plan view.
