Abstract
A grinding method includes an oblique grinding step of rotating a grinding wheel about the central axis of a second shaft, tilting the second shaft to a first shaft of a rotatable chuck table such that the bottom of a first portion of the grinding wheel that is positioned above an outer circumferential portion of the chuck table is higher than the bottom of a second portion of the grinding wheel that is positioned above a central portion of the chuck table, and then moving the grinding wheel and the chuck table relatively closer to each other along a direction parallel to the first shaft, thereby forming a disk-shaped recess in the reverse side of the workpiece, and a tilt changing and grinding step of grinding the reverse side of the workpiece while gradually changing a tilt of the second shaft to orient parallel to the first shaft.
