PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ingot cutter which can upgrade a finished product yield by preventing the cutting end part of an ingot from breaking off without adverse effects caused by the stepped part of a gap in a cutting table and thereby, eliminating maintenance services for adjusting the cutting table, and a cutting method using the ingot cutter. SOLUTION: This ingot cutter is equipped with at least, an ingot support pad for supporting, from below, the cutting end part of the ingot in a position where the ingot is cut by a blade, and a pad ascending mechanism for making an ascent of the ingot support pad from below and bringing the pad in contact tightly with the ingot.
