A grinding machine includes at least a turntable, rotary chuck tables for holding workpieces to be machined, a first grinding device for grinding the workpiece held on the chuck table and a second grinding device for grinding the first-ground workpiece held on the chuck table. The first grinding device comprises at least a first grinding wheel having pieces of grindstone set so as to define together a first grinding plane, and a first spindle fixed to the first grinding wheel. Likewise, the second grinding device comprises a second grinding wheel having pieces of grindstone set so as to define together a second grinding plane and a second spindle fixed to the second grinding wheel. The first and second grinding devices are so arranged that the first angle formed between the linear line connecting from the center of rotation of the turntable to the center of rotation of a selected chuck table and the linear line connecting from the center of rotation of the selected chuck table to the center of rotation of the first spindle is equal to the second angle formed between the linear line connecting from the center of rotation of the turntable to the center of rotation of the selected chuck table and the linear line connecting from the center of rotation of the selected chuck table to the center of rotation of the second spindle. This arrangement assures that all finished workpieces have the same thickness.
