Method for producing a cut section for a drill bit

A method for producing a cutting section for a drill bit, the cutting section connectable to a drill shaft section of the drill bit via a releasable connecting device, the method comprising the following steps:

• manufacturing a first sheet metal part having a first height between first end surfaces, a first length between first abutting edges and a first sheet metal thickness;
• manufacturing a second sheet metal part having a second height between second end surfaces, a second length between second abutting edges and a second sheet metal thickness, the first height being smaller than the second height and the first length smaller than the second length;
• aligning the first and second sheet metal parts with each other, the first sheet metal part being arranged on the second sheet metal part;
• connecting the first sheet metal part and second sheet metal part to each other in the aligned state to form a double sheet metal part;
• forming the double sheet metal part into an open tubular element, wherein the first sheet metal part is arranged on an inner side of the open tubular element;
• connecting the open tubular element at least at the second abutting edges of the second sheet metal part to form a closed tubular element;
• and
• connecting at least one drill segment to the closed tubular element.
