PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent excessive polishing and insufficient polishing by holding a body to be polished and a polished reference body on a holding means, detecting a designated physical quantity during polishing using a polishing means, and ending the polishing work of the polishing means according to the detection signal. SOLUTION: In the case of polishing both surfaces of a substrate such as a quartz substrate, a glass substrate or the like, a lower polishing table 3 and an upper polishing table 4 respectively provided with a polishing pad are disposed, and a holder 1 having plural glass substrates held thereon is disposed between both polishing tables 3 and 4. When the respective polishing tables 3, 4 are rotated by rotating motors 6, 7 to perform polishing, the turning torque of the rotating motor 6 is detected by a torque sensor 8, and a torque signal Tx from the torque sensor 8 is sampled at a fixed interval by a sensor signal collecting means 9 to be compared with a reference torque signal To stored in a storage means 11. When the comparison result is Tx>To, the end of polishing is decided by a deciding part 12.
