Abstract
A continuously variable transmission metal element includes a first ring slot, a second ring slot, a neck portion, an ear portion, and a body portion. The body portion includes an inclined surface. A plate thickness of the continuously variable transmission metal element in a longitudinal direction at an inner end of the inclined surface in a radial direction is larger than a distance between a first metal mold molding surface of a first metal mold and a second metal mold molding surface of a second metal mold in the longitudinal direction at a position corresponding to the inner end of the inclined surface. The first metal mold and the second metal mold constitute a metal mold to press a roughly formed metal element material between the first metal mold molding surface and the second metal mold molding surface so as to provide the continuously variable transmission metal element.
