The invention discloses a cutting roller used for mining. The cutting roller comprises cutting chain wheels, cutting teeth, a guide roller body, material blocking plates and a roller shaft, the roller shaft is sleeved with the guide roller body, the cutting chain wheels are arranged at the two ends of the roller shaft, the material blocking plates are connected with the two ends of the guide roller body, extended blocking pieces are fixed on each material blocking plate through bolts, multiple tool aprons are welded to the surface of the roller shaft, one cutting tooth is fixed on each tool apron, and a cutting edge is arranged at the front end of each cutting tooth. According to the cutting roller used for mining, the structure is simple, the installation, detachment and replacement are convenient, the tool aprons are arrayed in a straight line and staggered mode integrally, the cutting intensity is high, the cutting effect is good, each cutting edge is of a V-shaped structure, the structural strength is increased, the cutting efficiency of mining is high, the grinding effect is good, meanwhile, the extended blocking pieces on the material blocking plates are easy to adjust, mineral aggregate is prevented from being scattered and spattered, the cutting roller is easy to transport, and safety accidents are effectively prevented.
