A water-based grinding machine for polishing a surface of a metal strip includes an unwinding wheel, a polishing mechanism, a cleaning mechanism, a drying mechanism and a winding wheel. The polishing mechanism includes a first polishing wheel and a first workbench. The metal strip is drawn from the unwinding wheel into a gap between a polishing wheel and a pad, and then is drawn to the cleaning mechanism. The cleaning mechanism includes a third workbench and a cleaning liquid storage tank. At least one pair of felt wheels is arranged above the third workbench. The metal strip passes through a gap between the at least one pair of felt wheels. An outer circumference of the at least one pair of felt wheels is covered with a wool layer. The cleaning liquid storage tank is provided with a cleaning pipe. The drying mechanism includes an oven.
