A method of manufacturing an insulating member 2 for a spark plug, the insulating member 2 including an axial hole 4 extending in an axial direction, in which a center electrode 5 is held at a front end side of the axial hole and a terminal 6, e.g. a metal terminal, is held at a rear end side of the axial hole. The method includes: a pressurized forming step of compressing raw powder PM to form a molding CP1 having a hole portion HL, of which a rear end side is opened and a front end side is closed; a support pin inserting step of inserting a rod-shaped support pin 61 into the hole portion 112 from the rear end side of the molding; and a grinding step of grinding an outer circumferential surface of the molding CP1 inserted with the support pin 61 to form an unfired insulating member IP having a shape of the insulating member 2, wherein after the pressurized forming step and before the grinding step, a front end removing step of cutting a front end portion of the molding or grinding the front end portion in an axial direction to penetrate the hole portion is included. |
