Tool for machining a workpiece

Abstract

The invention relates to a tool (1) for machining a workpiece (3), said tool having a longitudinal axis (L), wherein the tool (1) comprises a first machining region (5) and a second machining region (7), wherein the first machining region (5) is spaced apart from the second machining region (7) along the longitudinal axis (L), and wherein a chip protection barrier (9) is located between the first machining region (5) and the second machining region (7), said chip protection barrier being designed to prevent chips removed from a workpiece (3) from passing from one machining region (5, 7) selected from the first machining region (5) and the second machining region (7) into the other machining region (7, 5) selected from the second machining region (7) and the first machining region (5).
