    Abstract: A cutting head for cutting apparatus suitable for creating tunnels or subterranean roadways and the like. The cutting head includes a rotatable cutting head body and a plurality of cutting units mounted thereon. The cutting units include at least first and second different types of cutting units. The first type of cutting unit has a first rotatable cutter having a first disc body and a first arrangement of buttons for abrading rock. The first buttons are mounted in a radially peripheral portion of the disc body and protrude outwardly therefrom. The second type of cutting unit has a second rotatable cutter having a second disc body and a second arrangement of buttons. The second buttons are mounted in a radially peripheral portion of the disc body and protrude outwardly therefrom. The different types of cutting units differ from one another by at least the arrangements of their buttons.

    Abstract: A cutting apparatus includes a support structure and first and second cutting assemblies. Each cutting assembly includes a rotatable cutting head and a mounting assembly for movably attaching the cutting head to the support structure. The cutting head is movable about a first pivot axis of the mounting assembly in a sideways direction relative to the support structure, and about a second pivot axis in an upwards-downwards direction. Each cutting head includes a plurality of cutting units, which each have a rotatable shaft and a cutter mounted thereon. The cutter includes a disc body and a plurality of buttons mounted in a radially peripheral portion of the disc body. At least some of the buttons have a central longitudinal axis that subtends an angle α to a reference axis, which extends perpendicularly outwards from an axis of the shaft, the angle α being ≥to 20° and ≤to 34°.
