The present invention provides a
shield tunneling machine, which is provided with: a plurality of obstacle
cutting cutter heads, which include a base material and a plurality of hard blades fixed to the base material in a state of protruding further in the excavation direction than the base material and harder than the base material, and
cut underground obstacles; a cutter disc, which is provided with the obstacle
cutting cutter heads and rotates along with excavation; and a
shield tunneling machine body, which is provided with a cutter disc at the front end in the excavation direction. The plurality of obstacle
cutting cutter heads are respectively configured such that the plurality of hard blades are arranged at intervals in the rotation direction of the cutter disc, and in the rotation direction of the cutter disc, the hard blades located on the outermost side in the rotation direction of the cutter disc are arranged closer to the inside than the base materials located at both ends in the rotation direction of the cutter disc.
