A cutting machine is any device designed to cut materials—paper, fabric, metal, vinyl, or other substances—into specific shapes or sizes.

Industrial cutting machines range from laser cutters to plasma torches to die-cut presses.

In crafting, a cutting machine typically refers to a digital device that cuts intricate designs from paper or vinyl: I made the wedding invitations with my cutting machine.
