In order to manufacture parts with an outer profile, a workpiece (32) is pressed by a pressure piece (24) through a ring-shaped cutting tool (34). The cutting tool (34) has a plurality of disks with inner cutting edges (62) for removing material from the workpiece (32). The cutting edges are progressively longer in the advance direction, so that each cutting edge removes material chips and the last cutting edge in the advance direction corresponds to the desired outer profile of the part. In order to improve chip removal, the chip chambers (74) located between the cutting edges communicate with the outside through radial connection openings (128) which are distributed all around their circumference. To hold the workpiece (32) securely on the pressure piece (24), a pressure pad (76) extends through the cutting tool (34) and is supported on the side of the workpiece (32) opposite to the pressure piece (32), and a hydraulic piston (80) generates a compression force on the pressure pad (76). To ensure a high dimensional accuracy, a calibrating tool with a passage whose dimensions at the rear outlet side correspond to the set dimensions of the part to be manufactured is arranged behind the cutting tool.
Device for manufacturing a part provided with an outer profile wherein a work piece (32) is pressed by a thrust piece (24) in an advance direction (60) through an annular cutting tool (34), the cutting tool (34) has a central axis and a plurality of annular discs (36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46) with inner cutting edges (62) surrounding cutting tool openings (48, 50, 52, 54, 56,58) for removing material from the work piece (32), the annular discs (36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46) are spaced by spacers and connected by bolts, and the cutting edges (62) are progressively projecting in the advance direction, each cutting edge (62) removing material chips and the last cutting edge in the advance direction (60) corresponding to the desired outer profile of the part, chip chambers (74) being formed between the cutting edges (62) for receiving the chips, and being connected to outside the device through radial connecting openings, characterized in that the spaces between respective pairs of annular discs (36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46) of the cutting tool (34) are formed by individual, separable annular spacer discs (126), regularly arranged circumferentially around the cutting tool openings, the spacer discs forming the connecting openings (128) therebetween and occupying a substantially smaller angular range around the openings in the cutting tool (34) than the connecting openings (128) so that material chips can pass through the connecting openings;
