A cutter beam was a hand-held tool that emitted a beam of directed energy which was used to perform a cutting function.
A cutter beam was generated by a phaser-like tool used by Starfleet engineers in the 2260s. An engineer used such beam to free Scotty from the jammed engineering core hatch in 2269. (TAS: "Beyond the Farthest Star")
The phaser drilling tool seen in "Once Upon a Time" might also have been classified as a cutting beam.
