         4 . Cutting device as defined in  claim 3 , wherein the angle ( 14 ) projects upwardly from the base plate ( 12 ), in particular angled at 90° with respect to the top of the plate.  
     
     
         5 . Cutting device as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the shaft ( 30 ) is guided in a sleeve ( 32 ).  
     
     
         6 . Cutting device as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the cutting wheel ( 18 ) is mounted to the shaft ( 30 ) in a replaceable manner.  
     
     
         7 . Cutting device as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the cutting wheel ( 18 ) is a knife, a circular saw blade or the like.  
     
     
         8 . Cutting device as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the cutting wheel ( 18 ) is ground on one side, in particular with an acute conical grinding ( 19 ).  
     
     
         9 . Cutting device as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the cutting wheel ( 18 ) comprises a toothing, specifically with an asymmetric toothing profile.  
     
     
         10 . Cutting device as defined in  claim 1 , wherein a protective plate ( 28 ) is located in the area above the cutting wheel ( 18 ) or is suited to be shifted into this area and to be locked there.  
     
     
         11 . Cutting device as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the rotation sense of the shaft ( 30 ) is reversible.  
     
     
         12 . Cutting device as defined in claims  1 , wherein the handle ( 20 ) comprises a lever ( 22 ) adapted to be extended.  
     
     
         13 . Cutting device as defined in claims  1 , wherein the handle ( 20 ) is a crank, a hand ratchet or the like and is attachable to a profiled shaft end ( 34 ).  
     
     
         14 . Cutting device as defined in claims  1 , wherein the workpiece support ( 16 ) is mounted to the base plate ( 12 ) in an adjustable and/or replaceable manner.  
     
     
         15 . Cutting device as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the workpiece support ( 16 ) defines a cutting gap extending towards the cutting wheel ( 18 ).  
     
     
         16 . Cutting device as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the workpiece support ( 16 ) is adapted to the shape of a hoof or adaptable.  
     
     
         17 . Cutting device as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the workpiece support ( 16 ) comprises fixing means for the workpiece, for example a clamping device.  
     
     
         18 . Cutting device as defined in  claim 17 , wherein the workpiece support ( 16 ) comprises a roughened, ribbed and/or with an adhesive layer coated surface.
