Abstract: A cutting method of cutting a workpiece by moving the workpiece relatively to a cutting blade that has an annular cutting edge and rotates in a predetermined direction, the workpiece being moved in a direction at right angles to the rotary shaft of the cutting blade, wherein the cutting method comprises a cutting step of cutting the workpiece by moving the workpiece in a forward direction in respect to the rotational direction of the cutting blade at a position where the blade and the workpiece face each other, and a burr-trimming step for tracing the groove cut by the cutting step by moving the workpiece in a direction against the rotational direction of the cutting blade at a position where the blade and the workpiece face each other.
