Abstract: A cutting apparatus that positions a wire saw driving device movably and appropriately at the desired site by freely moving an arm of a backhoe provided with a boom, which arm carries the wire saw driving device and is turnable and movable in upward, downward, leftward, rightward, forward, and backward directions, thus enabling cutting at sites too narrow in which to use a conventional machine. Cutting by use of a wire saw and by use of a disk blade can be alternately performed as needed.
