An apparatus for cutting grooves, wherein cutting of a plurality of kinds of grooves in the top surface of a plate-shaped work (W) can be performed efficiently and quickly. To achieve the above-described object, in an apparatus for cutting grooves in the top surface of the work (W) fixed to a worktable (11), a Z-axis slider (19) is vertically movably mounted on an X-axis slider (17) laterally movably supported on a frame (7) in a position upwardly of the worktable (11), a plurality of kinds of cutting tools (97A-97C) for cutting grooves in the top surface of the work (W) are mounted on a tool holder base (75) supported by this Z-axis slider (19) and the plurality of kinds of cutting tools (97A-97C) can be indexed against a cutting station on which the work (W) is cut. Furthermore, the tool holder base (75) is provided with a cutting fluid supply section (109) for supplying the cutting fluid to a cutting section of the work (W) and a cutting fluid sucking section (111) for sucking the cutting fluid for removal thereof.
