Abstract: An apparatus for producing tempered plate spare parts, planar shaped products, shear platus, blades cut from band material, and particularly ampule files, comprises a band hobbing and feeding unit, in certain cases a mechanical forming unit, particularly a serrating and/or sharpening unit, a heating and cooling unit and a cutting mechanism. The apparatus is equipped with a cutting-cooling mechanism arranged on a cross slide that can alternately be displaced crosswise to the transfer trace of the band material and it is provided with pairs of cutting tools arranged in two parallel or approximately parallel--expediently flat--clamp plates that can be pressed to one another.
