To provide an ejector tool for ejecting residual parts which is used for machining workpieces.

The present invention relates to an ejector tool for machining workpieces, in particular, for ejecting workpieces cut by cutting beam that have at least one residual part (56), and to a method for ejecting residual parts (56) by means of an ejector tool (11), wherein a punch (17) is selected from a multiplicity of punching tools (16) from an upper tool (12) and a counter-cutting edge (42) of a lower tool (14) of the ejector tool (11) is selected, and a micro-web (57), which, after a cutting gap (59) has been put into the plate-type material (53), joins a residual part (56) to the sub-area (54), is severed, and the residual part (56) is moved through an ejection opening (41) in the lower tool (14).
