Provided are a method for manufacturing band-shaped stator core sheets, capable of efficiently separating the band-shaped stator core sheets having engaged magnetic pole pieces, and a die apparatus used therefor.The method comprises placing tips of magnetic pole pieces 12, 13 of first and second band-shaped stator core sheets 10, 11 on inner peripheries of yoke pieces 16, 15, a slot punching step for forming gaps of the magnetic pole pieces 12, 13, a shear-cutting step for cutting the tips of the magnetic pole pieces 12, 13 from the inner peripheries of the yoke pieces 16, 15, respectively, a correction step for returning the magnetic pole pieces 12, 13 bent by the shear-cutting step to their original states, and a separation step for separating the first and second band-shaped stator core sheets 10, 11 with the magnetic pole pieces 12, 13 pressed back by the correction step.
