A machine for honing gears comprises a workpiece spindle, the spindle axis of which is oriented vertically, wherein a workpiece to be machined is attachable in the region of a free end of the workpiece spindle, a honing ring carrier in which a honing ring for machining the workpiece attached to the workpiece spindle is clampable and is drivable in rotation about its central axis, and a machine frame on which the workpiece spindle and the honing ring carrier are mounted. The machine frame surrounds the honing ring carrier. The honing ring carrier is additionally mounted at two bearing points on the machine frame, said bearing points being substantially diametrically opposite one another with regard to the honing ring carrier, so as to be movable linearly along a horizontal axis which extends through the bearing points and so as to be movable in rotation about this axis. The machine has a simple and compact structure. The machine frame serves not only as a structural element for mounting the individual components of the machine and all required shafts, but at least partially also to form a working space in which the machining takes place.
