Abstract
A cutting tool for separating and formatting of sheet materials has a rotationally driven support body having cutting teeth arranged about a circumference of the support body. The cutting teeth have a tooth profile with a radially outwardly positioned front-cutting area with a separating cutting edge and a formatting area with main cutting edges determining the cutting width of the cutting tool. The tooth profile further has a transition area located radially between the front-cutting area and the formatting area. The main cutting edges in the formatting area are arranged radially separately from the separating cutting edges of the front-cutting area by the transition area, wherein the transition area has transition cutting edges adjoining the cutting edges and angled relative to the separating cutting edges toward a radial center axis of the cutting tool. The front-cutting area is symmetrical relative to the radial center axis of the cutting tool.
