Claim 15:
16. A method for producing an abrasive cutting tool comprising:
providing a flexible drive carrier comprising a plurality of link elements including a link element and an adjacent link element disposed in a serial configuration, the flexible drive carrier having a drive direction for performing cutting;
providing a connecting element disposed between the link element and the adjacent link element such that the connecting element is configured to pivot relative to the link element and the adjacent link element; and
providing an element coupled to the link element that is arranged to be in contact with a material to be cut by the abrasive cutting tool, the element comprising a trailing protruding member extending towards the adjacent link element in a direction opposite and parallel to the drive direction of the flexible drive carrier, the trailing protruding member being formed from or coated by an abrasive compound and the trailing protruding member being configured to contact the material to contribute to cutting the material by the abrasive cutting tool; and
arranging the trailing protruding member to overlap a top surface of the adjacent link element in a plane perpendicular to the drive direction at least when the flexible drive carrier has a straight configuration and cover a portion of a width of a gap formed between the link element and the adjacent link element when the flexible drive carrier moves through a bend in an arcuate form.
