A surgical cast cutter for removing orthopedic bandages of a hard casting material type comprises a first shank (2a), cutting portion (2b), and second shank (2c); a first housing (1) having a built-in rotating device which rotates the cutting tool; a tool holding device which rotatably holds the cutting tool (2); a second housing (15) which receives the cutting tool (2) and having an integrated horseshoe-shaped protrusion which is inserted between the hard cover and affected area as a guide such that the hard cover may be easily cut; and a hood (50) which is coupled to the second housing (15) and movable in the up and down direction. The hood also serves as a collecting device for collecting dusts and debris formed from the removal of the cast. A method is also disclosed for applying the cast on an affected area such that it may be easily removed by the cast cutter.
