Next, a corner 11 of tie bar of the lead frame 1 cut off by a lowering operation of a top tie bar cut-off part 9. After that, the lead frame 1 still having a tie bar 12 is formed into the predetermined bent shape by the bottom shaping part 4 of the die and a top shaping part 8 of the punch. In this case, the top shaping part 8 of the punch lowers in a direction of the die to perform shaping.
