• a lower part including at least one lower stamping tool configured as a female die wherein the upper part is arranged movable on a linear path relative to the machine frame,
• wherein the lower part is fixed at the machine frame,
• wherein an intermediary space is provided between the male die and the female die,
• wherein the material to be stamped is movable through the intermediary space in a direction perpendicular to a direction of a relative movement between the upper part and the lower part,
• wherein the material to be stamped is stampable by the relative movement between the upper part and the lower part due to an engagement of at least one upper stamping tool of the upper part in an associated at least one lower stamping tool of the lower part,
• wherein each of the at least one upper stamping tool and the at least one lower stamping tool include least one cutting element respectively including at least one circumferential cutting edge and wherein at least one cutting edge arranged in the upper part cooperates with at least one cutting edge arranged in the lower part as opposite cutting edge,
