Cutting or stamping tool

Abstract

The invention relates to a cutting or punching tool (9) which is formed from several material layers (14, 15) and carries a tool blade or a tool sleeve, wherein the tool blade or the tool sleeve tapers in a direction of the cutting edge (12) in the region of a bevel (13). It is characteristic of the cutting or punching tool (9) according to the invention for the cutting or punching tool (9) to be produced from at least two material layers (14, 15) that are connected together and are produced from material of varying hardness, that the edge is formed from at least one blade-thin cutting edge layer (14; 14a, 14b, 14c), that the at least one cutting edge layer (14; 14a, 14b, 14c) is connected at least on one of its two flat or peripheral sides to at least one carrier layer (15), which at least one carrier layer (15) carries the bevel (13) that tapers in the direction of the cutting edge (12) and that the at least one carrier layer (15) has a hardness that is less than that of the at least one cutting edge layer (14; 14a, 14b, 14c). The cutting or punching tool (9) according to the invention is characterized in that its cutting edge (12) comprises a high level of cutting sharpness over a longer period of use (cf. FIG. 12).
