To accurately detect a current change indicating a polishing end point at the time when the change of a motor drive current that occurs when an upper platen comes into contact with a carrier is detected so as to stop a polishing device.
A control device 11 controlling motors M1 to M4 is equipped with a current detecting device 23 which detects the drive current of the motor M1 for driving the upper platen, and an inflection point detecting device 24 that detects an inflection point at which a current value varies and stops a polishing operation. Further, the polishing device is equipped with a timing setting device 25 which measures the thickness of a polished work W and turns on the inflection point detecting device 24 just before the thickness of the work W gets equal to a target thickness.
