A method for notch polishing by a notch-polishing unit (20) of an edge polisher is provided, in which evenness of polishing can be ensured by rotating a pad (32) for notch polishing in positive and reverse directions to polish a notch in a wafer (W). When the notch is polished by the pad (32) for notch polishing in the notch-polishing unit (20) formed of a sucking portion (30) for sucking a wafer (W) placed on the top surface thereof and the pad (32) for notch polishing rotatable by a driving source (33), the notch is evenly polished by rotating the pad (32) for notch polishing in positive and reverse directions. <IMAGE>
