METHOD FOR MAKING A FLEXIBLE CUTTING TOOL, AND RESULTING CUTTING TOOL

摘要

A method for making a flexible cutting tool comprising a wire-shaped flexible support (1) having a substantially constant circular cross-section, a plurality of rigid elements (2) integral with the wire-shaped flexible support (1), the plurality of rigid elements (2) including at least a front cutting edge (3) extending into the space (4) enclosing the wire-shaped flexible support. The plurality of rigid elements is obtained at least by winding and swaging, respectively a plurality of sections of metal strips around the flexible support. The invention also concerns a cutting tool obtained by the method in particular for cutting mud bricks, clay or the like.
