A CUTTING TOOL AND A METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE CUTTING TOOL

The invention relates to a method for producing and a cutting tool， respectively， for cutting hard materials such a natural stone or concrete or the like. A ductile support body (2) is the base body of the cutting tool， and a plurality of cutting modules (1) are arranged on the cutting edge of the cutting tool. The cutting member(10) is mounted on an intermediate support member (11)， preferably by a laser weld (15)，to form said cutting module (1). The modules (1) are attached to the support body (2) by means of a weld (14) in accurate manner， preferably by assistance of abutting support surfaces (120， 121， 123; 20， 21， 23) that hinder movement in at least 2 orthogonal directions， before welding each module (1) onto the support body (2). The invention enables production of pre-fabricated cutting modules (1) at central production sites， e.g. having expensive laser welding equipment， and shipment of these small pre-made modules (1) to distant locations where simple standard welding techniques may be used to produce a cutting tool.
