The invention discloses a shield tunneling machine cutter with a cushion device. The shield tunneling machine cutter comprises a cutter seat fixed on a spoke of a shield tunneling machine cutter disc,and the cutter body installed on the cutter disc, the cutter is provided with a cutter blade, the side edge, close to the heading direction of the cutter, ofthe cutter blade of the cutter is rotatably connected with the cutter seat, the other side edge, the cutter blade away from the heading direction of the cutter, of the cutter and the cutter seat are provided with a gap, and a cushion device is arranged between the other side edge of the cutter and the cutter seat. According to the shield tunneling machine cutter, the cushion device is arranged in the cutter seat, after the blade of the cutter is impacted during working, the cutter can be driven to be rotated around a pin roll, a cushion spring in the cushion device is compressed, time of cutting a hard object by the blade is prolongedin the process, the cushion effect is exerted, the probability of tipping of the blade is reduced, the capability of impact resistance of the cutter is greatly promoted, and the problem that due to the damage of the cutter disc caused by the tipping of a cutter tool, excavation of a shield tunneling machine is affected is solved.
