Abstract: A tool for generating a threaded hole is rotatable in a rotational movement about a tool axis extending through the tool, and is movable in an axial forward direction axially of the tool axis. The tool comprises at least one thread generation area and at least one drilling area, which are rigidly motion-coupled to each other. The drilling area is provided for generating a core hole and is arranged axially offset to the tool axis with respect to the thread generation area. The thread generation area projects radially to the tool axis, runs along a helical line, and a predetermined winding sense of the thread to be generated, and has a working profile which corresponds to the thread profile of the thread to be generated. The drilling area has a drilling edge, and at least one chip divider is arranged on the drilling edge, interrupts the drilling edge.
