The present invention relates to a
cutting device (1) for surgical or
dental use, comprising a motor (10) connected to a handpiece (4) provided with a transmission module (2) for a
cutting tool (3), the transmission module (2) comprising: - a motor
coupling part arranged to be rotated by the motor (10); - a
kinematic chain transforming the rotary movement of the motor (1) into a first linear reciprocating movement (M1) of a blade holder (27) via a rotary transmission shaft (22) provided with an eccentric (23), the transmission module (2) being characterised in that it further comprises a counter-
mass (5) arranged so as to move according to a second linear reciprocating movement (M2) synchronised with the first linear reciprocating movement (M1) of the blade holder (27), and in the opposite direction to the latter.
