<p>The invention concerns a blanking member (30) that is used in cutting transverse elements (10) for a drive belt for a continuously variable transmission from basic material (50). The blanking member (30) being composed of two parts (30a, 30b) that are positioned against each other, each part (30a, 30b) for cutting a different part of the transverse element (10), whereof at least one part (30b) is provided with a raised edge (33) that extends along a seam between the said two blanking member parts (30a, 30b). The blanking member (30) in accordance with the invention forms a depression (23) in the transverse element (10), thus avoiding that a line-shaped bulge is formed on top of the transverse element (10) by basic material (50) forced into the said seam under influence of forces exerted in cutting the transverse element (10).</p> |
