The present application discloses a method for processing probe. Firstly, a clamping member of a rotation shaft is clamped with a workpiece, and then the workpiece is moved to a processed area by the rotation shaft. The workpiece is rotated by the rotation shaft, and an electrochemical process of the workpiece is performed under the rotation of the shaft and an electrolyte sprayed between the workpiece and the polished module. During the performing of the electrochemical process, it can be that the rotation shaft is moved a processing distance or the included angle of the polish module is changed, for a probe being accomplished from the workpiece. Thereby, the abrasion of the polish module is lower and the performance for processing the probe under the electrochemical process.
