A grinding machine includes a swing-arm mounted to pivot on a frame, a lens-holder shaft which is mounted to rotate on the swing-arm about a rotation axis parallel to the pivot axis of the swing-arm, and on which a calibration template can be mounted, and a tool-holder shaft which is mounted to rotate on the frame at a distance from the pivot axis of the swing-arm and on which a machining tool can be mounted. A method of calibrating the machine includes an approach phase during which the swing-arm, which is fitted with a calibration template, is moved toward the tool-holder shaft, which is equipped with a machining tool. The approach phase is interrupted as soon as contact is detected between the calibration template and the machining tool. Applications include machines for grinding ophthalmic lenses.
