ABSTRACT:
A cutting and forming device includes an outer sleeve, an inner sleeve, and a housing. The outer sleeve has a longitudinal axis, a front end, a rear end, and a borehole having an borehole axis. The inner sleeve, can be rotated in the outer sleeve's borehole and includes a front end, a rear end, and a borehole having a borehole axis. The housing with a central axis has a front end, a rear end, and a cavity which accommodates the outer sleeve and passes through the housing parallel to the central axis. The front end of the inner sleeve has a circular cutting edge which is concentric with the borehole axis of the inner sleeve, and the borehole at the front end of the outer sleeve has a constriction whose longitudinal axis is parallel to the borehole axis of the outer sleeve.
