A cutting tool ( 1 ) for a punching machine has a punching body ( 8 ) on which a plurality of punching tool elements ( 5 ) which are located parallel to each other are provided. The puncing body ( 8 ) consists of a double-layered metal sheet ( 2, 12 ). Essentially longitudinal openings ( 7 ) are advantageously punched out of a sheet metal plate ( 2 and 12 ) symmetrically about an axis ( 6 ), these longitudinal openings ( 7 ) being situated parallel to each other, respectively. The sheet metal plate ( 2, 12 ) is then folded about the axis ( 6 ) in order to form the double-layered punching tool elements ( 5 ). This allows the use of more simple punching machines and enables a punching machine to be produced from just a few individual parts. |
