A cutting apparatus cuts the edge portions of a cover sheet covering a rectangular substrate. This cutting apparatus includes a holding unit, a head unit, a first moving unit, and a second moving unit. The holding unit holds the rectangular substrate by chucking one surface of the rectangular substrate. The head unit includes a cutting unit which cuts an edge portion of the cover sheet and a pivot unit which makes the cutting unit pivot to change a cutting direction. The first moving unit moves the head unit in a first direction parallel to one side of the rectangular substrate. The second moving unit moves the holding unit in a second direction perpendicular to the one side of the rectangular substrate, and moves the holding unit across a transfer position of the rectangular substrate and a cutting operation region which are continuous in the second direction. |
