A cutting device is characterized in that the cutting device comprises a particulate knife, a cutting worktable, a micro-jet spray head and a hydraulic device, relative linear movement is achieved between the cutting worktable and the micro-jet spray head, the particulate knife comprises a cutter body and a cutter bit, the cutter bit is arranged on the outer surface of the cutter body in an outward-protruding mode, the geometric dimension of the cutter bit is 10nm-1mm, a balancing weight is arranged in the cutter body, a spray cavity is formed in the micro-jet spray head, a spray mouth is formed in the bottom of the spray cavity, the spray mouth can generate an annular flow, the particulate knife is captured by the annular flow, and the outer diameter of the particulate knife is matched with the inner diameter of the annular flow. The cutting device has the advantages that the particulate knife is driven by water-caused rotation (namely the rotation of micro-jets) or is fixedly clamped to achieve micro-cutting, the micro-flow takes away heat generated during cutting in time, the inhomogeneous deformation field caused by thermomechanical coupling is greatly reduced, quality and working efficiency of micro-cutting are guaranteed, and a novel micro-cutting method is obtained.
