Abstract: The inventive device makes it possible to form protruding parts (18) teeth, spigots, corrugations and the similar on a carrier plate (8) of a brake-lining by introducing a tool into said carrier plate (8) of a brake-lining with the aid of a pressure plate (1) and by removing the tool from the plate. The tool consists of a number of elements (68 to 71) which are displaceable in an opposite direction towards each other and provided with cutting teeth, for example with a saw blade. During formation of protruding parts, the elements (68 to 71) of the tool are displaceable on a plane along two axes, i.e., along the first axis (20) and along the second axis (21) which is perpendicular to the first axis which coincides or is aligned essentially in a perpendicular direction with respect to the surface of the carrier plate (8) of a brake-lining.
