1. A cutting device, comprising:
a tool drive;
a cutting tool having a first connecting part and a second connecting part,
wherein the first connecting part connects to a first follower and the second connecting part connects to a second follower;
a guiding device, wherein the guiding device comprises:
a first guiding unit with a first guiding module and a second guiding module,
wherein the guiding device holds the first follower displaceable along a first guideway and the second follower displaceable along a second guideway,
wherein the first guiding module comprises a first guiding wheel and a second guiding wheel,
wherein the first guiding wheel and the second guiding wheel are held each by related bearing devices rotatable in a guiding plane,
wherein the first guiding wheel and the second guiding wheel are peripherally adjacent to one another at a first transfer position,
wherein the first guiding wheel and the second guiding wheel each comprises an outwardly open receiving opening, which is suitable for receiving the first follower,
wherein the first guiding wheel and the second guiding wheel are rotatable by the tool drive in opposite directions with the same angular velocity, and
wherein the first guiding wheel and the second guiding wheel are arranged in such a way that the receiving openings of the first guiding wheel and the second guiding wheel lie opposite one another at the first transfer position after each revolution of the first guiding wheel and the second guiding wheel, so that the first follower is transferable alternately from one receiving opening into the other receiving opening at the first transfer position and is further guidable alternately along the periphery of the first guiding wheel or of the second guiding wheel.
